Paul, I checked out that Edirol thing, but unfortunately it only has 32 or 49 keys depending on which model you go for.

I too have been on the lookout for an inexpensive midi controller keyboard with assignable knobs and/or sliders for ages. I cannot BELIEVE that nobody out there has manufactured one yet!!!

I think Evolution come closest to the mark so far with their MK-361C. However, at £180 I still think that it's a little bit overpriced.

There is no need for these keyboards to be expensive as far as I'm aware. They are simple products that use technologies that have been out there for years!

The demand for an inexpensive midi controller keyboard with assignable knobs/sliders is SKY HIGH! The first company who produce and sell these things cheaply will (quite rightly) make millions!

So far, there are a few really expensive ones and a few cheap and tacky ones (which are also a bit overpriced, I think).

The search for a decent midi controller keyboard goes on...
