Re: New controllers



They did have the 'air' sensor in a line of midi keyboards for a
while.  Don't know how well they worked or how you programmed them,
but that seems a way to midi-fy them (except that's even bigger than
the fx and synth box).  Of course those are out of production too.

Seems the word with Alesis is get the stuff new when you can because
they blow through good ideas and abandon them quickly.
