So i was asked to join a band today, by a guy that i played with a few years back. Not a deal, but they don't want me to play guitar, bass, or keys par say. They want me to run the drums, synths and the bass lines, all live. I'm going to pre-program the drums for all songs, this i already know. And i'm going to have to program some of the synth and basslines, but i want to do as much live as possible. So i need help choosing controllers, and deciding which software to use. My idea is to get a M-Audio Keystation Pro 88, as my main controller, since it has and 88 key set up, which might be overkill, but it has a lot of knobs faders and button, which i plan on using a lot. And par this up with a foot controller of some sort, possible build one. And possible use ableton live for all of this with some NI plugins (Pro-53 is awesome). But i would like to get as many opinions as i can, so i don't end up getting a setup that is a pain in the ass for me to use on stage, when somebody here might have a better idea. Right now we're just starting to write songs, so my shitty midi keyboard, and my korg nano kontrol will serve for the time being. But like i said i need ideas.??????
