Ok-
I found it by myself:

259 EUR - Impulse 25
339 EUR - Impulse 49
399 EUR - Impulse 61

It is cheaper than the Novation Remote MK2,
I wanted to buy...

well its in the zone of the m-audio oxygen series... if its again an overpriced novation controller its no worth..
and yes the knobs are not the best.

better give 500euro and get a novation ultranova that is a controller and a massive synth           http://www.landmark-recordings.com/

for this kind of money I would rather buy me a used nord lead with keys or some other board with actual synth engine. Automap is not that important imo.

I've used x-station, nocturn and the nova a lot. The nova is indeed old and mostly working, the cutoff pot is destroyed and if touched sends random values from 0 to 127

The x-station I sold, worked well but knobs that are used a lot felt kind of glitchy, no randomizing of values though.

The nocturn could be the worst controller I ever bought, 2-3 gigs and 50% of the knobs was destroyed, when you twist one, it goes backwards in values. Fucking amazing!

I sold the Remote since its pots were quite um "less accurate"
Even my ancient U-Control is more tight, at least in Studio One Pro

well i rarely use my SLMK2, the automap stuff takes to much time for me... i just use the keys lol.
but now i just ordered this slutty thing:







cant wait... the autofader atomatically gets in position when choosing a track...
so very fast volume adjustment and pannings are possible.
also the eq is just nice... aaahh
370€ gone lol
at least some real integration without thinking, just working!

i really liked the desing of this thing and the "dedicated integration into cubase", but i do never use the cubase eqs as they suck balls and then the price tag is just insane!

still interested on how it works for you, so please tell us how you like it           http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/stereofeld-frequenzwechsel

Yeah, i thought the same about the eq, but i read that the newer cubase eq is well done. And imagine not opening everytime a new eq each track via xxx mousklicks, just press the "e" button on the controller and start tweaking the eq knobs. Also the 4 routable buttons are nice for faster zooming or strg+z... ill let you know if its worth the money.
