The M-Audio Radium 61 is another cheap controller. I repeat, it is cheap,
but it works. I use it mostly because of the knobs and sliders you can
use to control organ drawbars, filters, or whatever. Every now and then,
a note will get stuck and and the action kind of sucks, but it's cheap and
light to carry to gigs.
