Had spent years building muscle on a 1922 Underwood (which I miss), but when I got the electric I felt sure that technology has reached its inevitable peak. OK, off to Guitar Center for an extended lunch to browse Launchkeys. ![]() Very flimsy compared to my Korg and old said: It’s a good controller for the price, but the keys on my Launchkey are shite. ![]() OK, off to Guitar Center for an extended lunch to brows Launchkeys.

The Digitakt feels that good.) I will say it is the greatest thing ever, though my understanding is pitiful. (And yes, I'm overdue with a report about the new Digitakt. I have already given you the cost code and routing number to my account. I hate to tell you this, but I had a NanoStudio and then accidentally bought a Launchkey and I'm very pleased to have both. Related: Any word about synched scene-launching? ![]() (Can I justify a Launchkey if I've already got a NanoStudio? Probably not.) Thank you believe that I'm paying you a compliment when I say your videos either make me want to open whatever software you're enthusiastic about in the moment - or they make me want to go buy something.
