8 less pads

No Y/Z pad

The CTRL49 screen is a nice touch (the menu driven not so much)..I rather use my 15.6 touchscreen...
There is no real gain to the CTRL49 screen... you still need a PC screen to use the DAW..


The keys are the exact keys used on the Code series.... It is M-Audio's best semi weighted action.. (If you don't like the Code keys, you won't like the CTRL keys.)

My opinion .. the CTRL49 is designed to be a studio controller...
small footprint... Menu driven VIP (time consuming)...
Where the Code61 makes a better all around keyboard... studio and stage.. More control and easier operation..

Both are great controllers, but the Code is better suited to my needs..


Fran I'm confused I thought the Roland EA7 was to fill your needs not to use the G70.....
why all this controller DAW stuff on a gig? please explain..?
or is this a quick moving phase to cure boredom
until you can get a BK9?

thanx confused1
