What are you using for an X-Y controller?

I need something to control the "morphing" options in Absynth, Dimension Pro, Kore Player, FM8 and other VSTs.

I bought Absynth's iOS controller (for my iPhone)--about two weeks before CamelAudio shut down. I haven't been able to get it to control Absynth on the PC, and I doubt it would control any other VST, anyway.

I don't need "top-of-the-line" here; just something decent and reliable that works with Sonar X3 and most (if not all) of the synths I mentioned.

Thanks!

I have something so high end than korg nanopad2. Works great as xy but also has pads for drumming

Yeah, I forgot about that, even though I have the nanoKontrol2. I guess I was just hoping for something smaller, like a $20 USB-based touchpad that will work, if anyone has used something like that. I already have the all the other features the nanpPad2 would offer.

It does but I tried to find it on the Keyfax site and they don't seem to have it for sale, not sure if it is still viable. tbh I find my Apple Trackpad does a better job than a dedicated joystick as I don't keep having to change midi channels just to switch between different controls (eg with Zebra's 4 XY pads).

I use the X/Y pad on my ReMOTE 25SL ... you see them come up in the marketplace sometimes.

I know but it's still possible to get the context.

What's your X-Y controller?
