quick question - velocity sensitive consumer controllers
Hi there community
Can anyone confirm which of the following consumer controllers offer velocity sensitivity on each pad/button?
Novation Launchpad (in their various editions)
Push
Monome
... others in similar form factor/price bracket?
Thanks
pretty happy with quneo:

Yes, I forgot about Quneo - looks cool. But I'd like to know, from this list, which ones offer velocity sensing and which ones don't. I'm not buying anything yet, just wanna do a quick informal survey. Polling this forum is quicker than trawling numerous online stores and specs. Lazy, I know.
Cheers
Push is the only one in that list with velocity.
Although Novation just announced a Launchpad Pro, that has velocity sensitivity. Not sure on the release date but it is $399 street, so significantly less then a new Push.
Hey Evan
thanks, I was just about to bump this. It's not for any purchasing reasons or such, it's a question for an academic paper I'm preparing, and I need to establish if several examples of consumer DMI controllers offer velocity sensitivity, and - as I say above - have way too much on my plate at the moment to scour numerous online stores.
Although I could problee do it in the time it took me to respond to this.

ps
the Quneo tech specs look very attractive
Only the Launchpad Pro is velocity and pressure sensitive. The others aren't.
the monome is quite distinctly *on/off*, no velocity. I'd also argue that several of them are pro or prosumer. Monomes are pricey... 700usd for a controller?
Push is velocity and pressure sensitive.
Trigger Finger is an old favourite of mine, for its pressure sensitivity, and the Korg PadKontrol is a wonderful drum trigger with velocity as well. There's a Trigger Finger Pro now, too.
Maschine is velocity sensitive, too.
Oh, and Livid instruments BaseII is another good one. 32 big pressure sensitive pads on that. It's on my do-want! list alongside the magical Linnstrument (drool)... okay, the linnstrument is decidedly pro or at least prosumer.
And then there's a whole host of lower-priced devices, like the LPD8, NanoPad2, etc. etc.
