Well chris the m-audio I mentioned has also a keyboard on it. I assume that is to trigger synths aswelL CORRECT? SO I FIGURE I WOULD GET 2 IN 1. OR IS THERE A CONFLICT OF QUALITY OREXPENSE THERE? DO YOU THINK I SHOULD HAVE SEPARATE UNITS OR REMAIN USING MY YAMAHA AS MY TRIGGER. I JUST DON'T WANT TO BUY A CHEAPER PIECE OF EQUIPMENT JUST BECAUSE OF PRICE, WHEN I CAN INVEST IN A PERFECT ITEM THE FIRST TIME. WHAT DO U THINK?
