MIDI controller

anonymous 7 March 2003 midi, controller,

A friend of mine is looking for an 'inexpensive' MIDI controller. He was considering the Oxygen 8 but after reading bad reviews, is looking at other alternatives. Any recommendations in the same price range?

thanks and regards,
Robert

thanks for the quick reponses. I have forwarded your recommendations to my friend. It's great that the Evolution UC-33, Novation K-Station & Remote-25 controllers all work with Reason. That is his software of choice at the moment. Any pros/cons on these controllers? I am clueless as I haven't moved up from my Yamaha DX-11.

thanks again,
Robert
