    Default LivePro controller midi or touch screen

    Live Pro users how are you running it, can you recommend a controller interface?

    Touch screen monitor and a Novation Remote Zero!

    Several people on here have gone that route, and "Insanity", for one example, seems to make a decent living using that hardware setup...
    (He also has a custom DVD for sale on using LivePRO, which is now even advertised on the Pangolin web site).

    For livepro a midi is a must, a touchscreen is optional. a mouse can do the same.

    But if you are more a cue clicking guy its better to stick with quickshow.

    Ended up picking up LivePro since QS doesn't support the QM card. Looks like the work space on pangos show site is very similar to QS's.

    I don't have Livepro, only Quickshow, but here's a cheap-and-cheerful MIDI controller that I use, and here is its sibling wot I have seen used in anger for full light shows.

    and how do you control track brightness, master speed, key&fx speed, scanrate, rotation speed etc.

    I'm using this at the moment, non of the buttons is used to assign a cue, because my mouse can do this better.
