I'm about to buy a midi controller and I'm looking for some advice. My budget is 200 euros (250 max). At the moment I'm leaning towards the Behringer BCD3000 because of it's low cost and good amount of buttons but I'm concerned with the quality/feel of the buttons. There is a chance however that I will combine it with a nanoPad which will let me map more impartant functions to the pad so that the feel on those functions is still good.
Other options I have been thinking about are:
1. An external mixer with a midi controller like the trigger finger and an audio interface.
2. A BCF/BCR 2000 (sadly have endless rotary knobs)
3. An Akai MPD 24 to which I can later add an external mixer.
What option would you recommend?
Edit: Forgot to add what I will be using them for. Mainly using Traktor pro (preferably 3 decks but I can get creative with the mapping to get that working on a bcd3000 as well) and just mixing songs but sometimes live remixing with the hotcues/loops/samples/effects and the likes. I also have ableton so I might try to get some hot stuff going on that as well.
ps. Any info on the quality of the BCD3000 is more than welcome.
