Novation Launchkey Mini 25 MK4

I wish there was an equally lightweight alternative with 16 pads and 8 encoders. But no...

This controller has endless encoders, but you cannot set them to report relative values in their software.

In DAW mode, I think maybe with Ableton it can report relative values, but in Bitwig it just breaks completely and the keys don't even work anymore.

Why on earth would they add endless encoders, but then don't allow you to set them to relative mode in your custom presets? Many people have complained about this, but nothing ever changes. Novation is certainly a brand I'll be avoiding in the future, if torn between options.

And the keybad is extremely bad, as many people have already reported everywhere.

I would love to switch to a different midi controller. I really only keep it because of the high number of pads and encoders.
