Esem/Eesn

• Probably the cheapest 4-fader (non-motorised) surface you can adapt for Pro Tools.
• Reasurring weight, although made of plastic.
• Good sensitive pads (it's no Akai though).
• Far better expression than with a MIDI keyboard.
• Programmable and easy to operate.
• Sliders' caps are too easy to lift and remove accidentally shoot across the room.
• Too much branding for my taste. Could look better.
• No blue lights. Yay!!

I wish they sold it with its own power supply so I don't need to allocate a separate USB port for it (use via MIDI) but hey. The pads themselves barely move when touched/hit. I love the 4 control buttons just above the sliders - fast and responsive - i wish the pads had some of that feeling. Anyway.

Edit: A few years down the line, the abysmal Enigma editor doesn't really work with OSX 10.9+. Luckily the surface can be programmed via the built-in functions.
