Every time I get it down to zero something else comes out that I buy! :) The space I will save in replacing the Oxygen 61 with this Akai keyboard that has built-in pads I guess is worth the extra $250 :) (It's $449 in the store.. $499 on the site... weird) And YES I am very excited about all this stuff. I also bought a Fairlight refill and a Kong refill AHHH. Too much money! Ahh yes, I decided to just charge it all on the trusty Guitar Center card I can never seem to pay off!

Looks like you exceeded your $200 limit! :) But you got 61 keys and several knobs and faders along with your pads! To get that at the same time as Reason 5 and Record 1.5 seems more exciting than childhood Christmas morning! Enjoy the music making! Cool!

You buy things without trying everything first. :) I just called Guitar Center and told them to hold a Reason upgrade and one of these too... http://www.akaipro.com/mpk61 ...without having even touched it yet! Hopefully it works out. :) (My M-Audio Oxygen 61 is feeling a little cheap these days. And I like having small pads too. I'm kinda limited on space on my desk, so that's why I am gonna try this first.) Hey, you’re like me!

Yes, I did get the Korg PadKONTROL. I can't really "recommend" one product over another since I did not go out and try them all. I just believed a percussionist friend of mine who said that the pads felt best and were most responsive on the PadKONTROL. I do like it and it does feel good to play. It triggers even at the edges of the pads, and responds well to relatively light tapping. Good guess, squint! Yes, I did get the Korg PadKONTROL.

The Korg padKontrol? Which do you recommend if I don't wanna spend too much more than say $200 or so. Ohh, meant to ask: which 16-pad controller did you buy? The Korg padKontrol?

You already own Record, and 1.5 is a free upgrade, so all you need to pay to upgrade is Reason. Reason 5 Upgrade is the way to go for you. Thanks for pointing out the bounce clips to samples feature-- that's a nice one, too. Yep, there are actually lots of little improvements that aren't getting much press right now (naturally eclipsed by Kong, Neptune, etc.), but that Reason and Record users are likely to appreciate once they find them.

Even little things like being able to stretch clips, reverse clips, quickly bounce clips to be samples—things like that—are pretty exciting. I'm a little confused as to what I need to buy, though. I bought Reason and Record separately, so I'm assuming I have to go for this one: Reason 5 Upgrade from any version of Reason or Record Reason Duo: EUR € 99 / USD $129 (includes free upgrade to Record 1.5 for owners of Record Reason Duo or Record for Reason Owners) Correct me if I'm wrong! :) I too am intrigued to see how this release will affect my music.
