Hi. I'm just getting into Reason and I'm looking for a MIDI controller
to use with the software; i don't need a keyboard with built in effects
since I'll just be using the ones that are in the soundbank on the
computer. I have a tight budget. Any suggestions on which controllers I
should look at? I would like to buy one with the full set of keys, but
would be willing to settle for something smaller if it's cheaper and
worth more for the money.

Thanks,
-Adam

Hi Adam,
I used an Edirol PCR 30 as my first controller, it has a large number
of control elements.

You might want to look at Novation's Remote SL which is the best of
both worlds.
The device has keys, a mod stick and a large number of rotary pots and
sliders that can be set up to control Reason.
There is a Yahoo group for advice on usage and other issues.
