Quneo Awesome Looking Controller

Anyone have any direct experience with this yet? From the reviews and general data I can gather online it seems like its pretty, novel but unfortunately a bit rubbish in operation.

I have two, and cannot see any “rubbish” in their operation - granted, I am not doing live performance with them, but i have not run into any issues with functionality.

I believe kazakore also has one.

Here are some neat vids of really doing some cool stuff with them - Infinte Sinewave

Feel wise, the pads are nicer than the ones on my Akai MPK - 61, not as nice as the ones on my Axiom 25, but that may be personal preference - the pads are nicely thick, have a decent feel - My guess is some of the restriction in feel is due to sharing a piece of silicone with the sliders which of course cannot be sticky, and additionally since the pads are also x-y controllers, it may not work well if they were “softer”.

If you can site references to the rubbishness… I would love to investigate!

The single most important question to me would be if the pads react to very light pressure. The akai MPD-pads for instance required way too much pressure for my taste.

I’ve tried out AKAI’s MPD32 and returned it because of this very problem. Great features and easy to program, but the pad sensitivity was way too low for me.

The QuNeo has nice sensitive pads, although I don’t know how they compare to pads on a Maschine or padKontrol. Those two seem to rank very highly among finger-drummers wanting greater sensitivity.
