I never tried the ipad till now , but i think there is or will be a way to configure the sensitivity for the % of the values ... but I get your point of view in what you said ...<br> <br>Otherwise I have the SL novation MKI and if you have more than 8 faders you have to go from page A to page B then move the fader to make it active which means you change the value of the controller which is suck, I know the mkII is touched sensitive but I think the problem can be the same cause it will be a range of values with nothing till you reach the right value of the DAW controller selected to active the change-value wanted ( cause not motorized) ...<br>
One example :<br><br>| First 8 tracks (setting pageA): | Second 8 tracks (setting pageB):<br><br>| F1A: value X | F1B: value X<br>| F2A: value X | F2B: value X<br>
| F3A: value X | F3B: value X<br>| F4A: value X | F4B: value X<br>| F5A: value X | F5B: value X<br>| F6A: value X | F6B: value X<br>
| F7A: value X | F7B: value X<br>| F8A: value 100% | F8B: value 50%( but 90% is wanted)<br><br>Lets say you want to go from 50 % to 90% in page B but you are in Page A:
so you must go from PageA to page B => then you must touch it (if you didn t touch any fader before the change in PageA cause the MKII got only one screen) you see
his value on the display : 50% ok ! but your fader is on the top which
is 100% so you have to go down to reach the 50% and then go up again to
reach 90%( I hope it works this way, dropping from 50% to 100% (by
touching it) then going down 10% to get 90% will be insane I guess.<br>
The same for all faders thus the feeling is actually to stay focused on the screen of the MkII and It s not practical to reach a value to finally be able to change it , but it s only what I think ...<br><br>I hope my example is not too confusing ... :S<br>
All in all I could be wrong I never tried Automap 3 ...<br><br>for the price I like the Behringer BCF2000 (motorized faders) and the BCR2000.<br><br>Let me know ...<br><br>:)<br><h4><a href="http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BCF2000.aspx"><br>

</div>From my first play it was not as responsive as I would like, occasionally I would hit a different clip and nothing would happen. May need to tweek the set up or play around with it a bit more. Also you really have to be focused on the device when changing things to make sure you are touching the right thing, obviously because you cant do it by feel. It's pretty cool though to have it talk back and forth with live, all setting updated and all parameters for synths, and the sequencer as well, all wireless. But I don't think it really replaces the feel of hardware buttons(more adds to it), at least for me.<br>
<br>
Are you not a fan of lives takeover modes as far as the non motorized value adjustments? I ment to ask this before is it annoying?<br>
<br>
I bought the APC and ZeroMKII as I found them for a good price, also what sold me on the Zero as well is it has regular MIDI ports so I might have a go at making a template for my Mopho box, yay asdr sliders<br>
