yeah the pcr1 has the half-action keys too, and is actually a bit cheaper than the page i posted here! i found some killlller deals, so i am looking to stay under 120.

really my decision is do i wanna play the keys to make the bass and synth lines, or do i wanna hammer on the mpc-type pads to make drumlines?

:)

really, with ableton i already use my puter keyboard to hammer out samples and drums, so the trigger finger can probably wait. i really wanna concentrate on better basslines, truth be told.

sounds like i am talking myself into a decision, doesn't it? :roll:
