So should I buy a analogue DMX controller with 192 channels and 30 banks and ad like a midi keyboard and get some software to seqeunce the midi keys to audio? Or should I buy DMXis and combine that with Abelton Live?(will the basic 80dollar version be enough?).There are a lot of consoles out on the market today but LightKey remains one of my all time favorites.
