Novation made REMOTE truly portable, being mains or battery powered, Novation given REMOTE one of the best semi-weighted keyboard actions around, engineered a programmable pitch/mod/control wheel which is a delight to use, integrated a cool 'touchpad' for wild performance effects and included dozens of pre-programmed templates for the most popular software plug-ins and traditional hardware instruments so it can be used straight out of the box.

I'd have a hard time buying another Novation product after being so let down by the Remote-61 SL. I don't need this and I don't have the money anyways, but it sure looks snappy to me.
...Better musical ideas. The only things I've ever owned with great keys were a Roland XP-50 and a first generation Remote 61 SL that had a chassis made of cheap creaky plastic. This Arturia feels much more like the Roland. It inspires you. I had forgotten how unbelievably important that physical -> mental connection is.
I once was having something similar happening with another synth, and it turned out that a squirrly encoder from a Novation Remote 61 was spitting out intermittent CC. I gave it a few twists and that was enough to stop it.
