Thoughts of using Korg Monologue to pair with Live

Stand Alone
So I was looking at various MIDI keyboards to use with the MPC Live, I have the KMI QuNexus, but the additional controls currently trigger some of the other parameters. The CME XKey was my top draft pick previously, but I started wondering if there were any synths at a comparable price range that could fuinction as a MIDI keyboard and sound source. Was looking at the BassStation 2, the Microbrute etc, when I noticed that the Korg Monologue does have a battery option (6 AA 6-8 hours). It also has a small form factor (like 14"x10").

I was wondering what other options people were looking at for portable production. I've been using the iPad, but want MIDI control.

Sound good for portable. The effects and sample routin on live work great for capturing stuff. Also consider that the usb can power stuff too so any usb midi keys can be made portable. Th advance series is quality and not too expensive. The Roland boutique series may be good too if your looking for a smaller footprint. They sound great but I outputs kinda suck in my opinion bu midi wise would work good

I have both and plan on using them as the foundation as a portable rig, but am still in the process of moving/converting all my tracks from Ableton into my MPC. Once I've got that done, i will start experimenting with them more. I am hoping i can use the Live's inputs for the Monologue and thus skip the need for a mixer.

Monologue would be a great companion for the live.

I plan on using my keystep for keyb duties. I love the form factor. I also have a qunexus but find the keys are too small for my taste.

My QuNexus kept moving my Pan to the left...that's what got me to start looking for other options. I'm sure I could change something in settings, but changing it back and forth would be frustrating...plus this is an excuse to add to my fledgling synth collection.
