I'm still not understanding what functionality the Mikro MK3 is lacking in Reaper. One glaring negative point I see as I look through reviews is that it only works with NI's DAW or as a VST. I'm still very new to all of the MIDI/VST stuff so I guess I don't understand what the issue is. Does that mean that you would have to use it as a standalone if you weren't using the NI DAW and that you can only use it in Reaper with very limited capability? Also, some of the more recent reviews seem to mention that there was a big problem using it with other DAWs but that the issue has since been resolved with a firmware fix. I need to do some more digging I suppose. Wish I could just find a damn changelog for their firmware LOL. I guess I'll head over to the NI forums. If there were/are pissed off customers, I'm sure I'll find a few there.
