Not quite as cool as the new Novation controller are the new keyboards from M-Audio. Actually, these are Evolution boards, but now M-Audio owns them as well, so whatever.

Of the several new units, the MK-461C (damn, just MK4 would have sufficed) offers the most features. You can count the "9 sliders, 12 knobs and 10 buttons" yourself. But the only cool new thing here is the "drawbar mode," which lets you use those 9 sliders as drawbars on you favorite soft-b3.

The UC33e is nifty however. It's a keyless controller with tons of knobs and 9 faders. Yes, those 9 faders also support "drawbar mode." Simple, cheap (I'm guessing around U$200) and compact.
