Super clean looking! Steinberg is really starting to impress me, I was checking out their interfaces, they've got some awesome plugs, and now this control surface/pad controller...sweet!

Well these had been announced long before the new Akai stuff, however the most exciting things about cubase to me are note expression and WOW that is cool stuff check it

and the new padshop looks pretty darn awesome

DP, yeah very much true, but akai will have them available sooner...at least if it doesnt end up like the intro of the mpk49 lol

I had tossed about the idea of getting the CMC-PD for quite sometime. But I just can't bring myself to pay 150 for that.

50 bucks too much IMO.

Behringer, not long ago, announced a line of DJ and production "CMD" controllers. The mixer, CMD MM-1, has a four port hub to connect your other controllers to. They're all listed on their DJ Controller section: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Category/USB-MIDI-Controllers.aspx?s=O500
