Everything about the Nord Wave Synthesizer

Putting a controller on the top right panel

Postby OscBombs » 20 Apr 2012, 21:47

I'm thinking of getting a small keyboard controller to put on the top right panel so I can control a separate synth module. I just waned to see if anyone does this and can recommend a good controller (or, if anyone knows if this is a BAD idea as it could damage my Wave in any way, that would be great to know, too!).

It's obviously a small surface, so what I'm looking for in the controller would be:

-small enough to fit entirely on top of the Wave
-velocity sensitivity
-aftertouch
-mod wheel

I've looked around a little, but haven't been able to find one option with Aftertouch... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Also, apologies this is the second time I've posted recently about non-Wave equipment... (since my last thread, I settled on the DSI Tempest, which is quite nice:)

Arturia has different size of controller keyboards, the 49 & 61 has aftertouch, maybe the 25 too.

I tried looking myself for something that would fit in that corner, but most viable options are only USB midi, and a portable USB host interface costs a lot of money, I'm a bit disapointed, I found nothing that would work.
