Hi! does anyone know of a midi controller that is hardly a controller; more like a few buttons 5-10. Something like the 'Dicer' but dirt cheap.

the intention is for hot cues while using timecoded vinyl (i want to minimise computer use)

How about the akai lpd8 http://www.akaipro.com/lpd8 you caan get the basic mapper here on the site.
 
wow yeah that looks great, and its like half the price of the dicer !!! (how can they justify the price of the dicer with that as competition?)

what does the mapper do? i assumed one could just do that mapping thing under config?
 
you could also look at the KORG Nano range of kontrolers
 
I use the NanoKontrol and its great.
 
why not maping the keyboard the way you want and save yourself some money..?? I also use nanopad by korg sometimes but I think keyboard is the safer way to go
 
Before I got dicer, I used a wee USB numeric keypad for about $5 and just mapped some samples and loop keys to that.
