Looks like you want about the same setup I got Saturday. I bought a Novation mm10 (I think that's what it is). It has only 2 octaves, pitch bend, modulation and touch sensitive keys. Using the 2 of the buttons, you can move the 2 octaves down, so you can really access 8 octaves. What I'm trying to say is, the range of the keyboard is 8 octaves, but there are only 2 octaves of keys. It real small, runs on batteries (power supply is extra), has a midi out, and a few other non-midi ports. I've had NO problems using it with the SCC-1 under Cakewalk. The only problem is if you have actual talent, (Which I don't), 2 octaves of keys is pretty limited. It's mostly used for inputing notes, not playing. But, since I can't play the piano anyway, I've had NO problems getting it to do what I want to do. It coast around $180.00 which is a little more than I wanted to pay, but it's worked out real well. mike mtressle@bsu-cs.bsu.edu mtressle@lovelace.bsu.edu 00MBTRESSLER@leo.bsuvc.bsu.edu _I_ want a piece of MEAT!
