Ableton Midi Controller Latency

I am taking an Ableton LIve class and the bag is excellent for transporting my 25 key midi controller and laptop in one bag. Have plenty of space for notebook, sustain pedal and headphones...

I'm using this controller in tandem with the NanoKontrol (which has faders), to MIDI map all functions for Ableton Live. It offers plenty of programmable pads and 4 different scenes. The only drawback is its durability on the road (touring) over time...

This little thing is a beast! If only they made a 6-channel version, but i'm not sure if that could run just off a USB. There are many ways to use this, i'm using it on a laptop with Ableton and it's got no latency or noise! Perfect for some demos I want to record!

I use the product to control Ableton Live and Reason and it is spectacular! It lets me have great hands-on control, the keys are amazingly expressive, the drum pads are great, and sliders are awesome too. This is for sure a great MIDI keyboard and easily compares to any MIDI keyboard out there. One con though is that the encoders are a little loose feeling, but it's not bad once you get used to it.

holds my midi controller perfectly, real nice.

Top quality cables. Work perfectly with my midi controller.

Very impressive headphone outputs, low latency for MIDI, great mic preamps, great for powered speakers. I love it!

I wasn't aware of the MIDI in and out when I bought it, this is very handy for incorporating my MIDI pedalboard. I found the latency to be extremely low, and the sound quality and routing flexibility to be top notch. I have not yet incorporated standalone keyboards or put anything in the effects loop, but I certainly will be using it this way. Perfect way to consolidate 8 inputs into 2 while getting isolated XLR and 1/4 stereo outputs. It was expensive, but nothing else does everything this does.

I'm using this controller with Ableton and it was very quick and easy to setup (my unit already had the latest firmware update too, which was nice). There's a program on the unit for Ableton which again made controlling aspects within the DAW seamless. It's obviously small (only 25 keys), but having the pads and encoders on such a compact unit is great. Fits right on my desk and lets me edit/perform parameters live, and is easy to throw into my bag and take with me. Only downside is that there's no midi out (just usb). So means I can't use with some hardware synths. But for DAW control, fantastic.

I use this microphone for DJing, plugs directly into my midi controller and sounds crystal clear.
