PaintAudio MIDI Captain

I just ordered it. I've been thinking about different options for several months now. It will be my first midi controller, so I have no previous experience, but it seems to be a ready-made thing for FM3. Also, it's not too expensive for my budget. Why didn't I buy, for example, the FC-6? Because I want to use other devices with midi than just Fractal devices.
 
The Midi Captain works well with the FM3 and has a lot of useful functionality. It's not the easiest thing in the world to program with it's text based programming language, but once you've got the hang of it it's not too big a problem.

The BIG advantage witht the FC6 is the very powerful Layout and View link functionalty which allows you to use the OMG9 layout (or some variant of this). This is great for gigging on the FM3. Press one footswitch and the FC6 has up to 9 presets ready to select (I only use 6 so it's all on the FC6 without needing to toggle using the hold function - dangerous when gigging!! ). Press the next footswitch and you have scenes within the selected preset. Press the next footswich and you have effects in that preset you can turn on and off (or change from low gain to hi gain etc)
