[Rwp] Midi controllers and VST's

[Clement Chou]

Do you use a midi controller / keyboard along with that as well? One
concern I have is also finding a midi controller that's decently
accessible while at the same time being worth the quality. The pod hd
also serves as an audio interface, so probably what I will be using
for any effects or amp modelling I need. Curious to hear from anyone
else and get other thoughts as well. Thanks for all the tidbits so
far... very helpful information!
