looking for cheap quality midi controller

[Jonathan Lang]

Greetings, just got EZ Drummer 2. I want to buy a midi controller pad to program and alter patterns as it’s very hard to do with my computer mouse. I’m using GarageBand 5 on a 10 year old iMac, it runs pretty good as long as I don’t have any other programs open. I have experience programming a drum machine but none with midi. Would the Korg nanopad2 work for my setup? I do have a Boss DR-660 drum machine, would this work as a controller?

After watching a basic video on GarageBand I’m now able to use my computer keyboard to make drum hits so I don’t really need to buy a midi controller although it would be nice to customize the keys. My problem now is getting EZ Drummer to record in the DAW. Hopefully more tutorial vids will help with that.
