Novakordo is designed to be modular so other players may choose different componets. My two (and theoretical you could stack more) are the Alesis VI25 (around £125) keyboard for the right hand and the Novation Launchpad Mini (around £80) for the left. I chose the Alesis because I wanted a small keyboard with semi-weighted keys and it has a relly good feel. Having the control pad and knobs is a bit of a bonus. I also have an Akai APC Key 25 but the keyboard is not so good and the control surface redundant because that is what is needed for the left hand.
The Launchpad Mini is just about the right size for my hand with a bit of modification (see elsewhere) and just about lets me simulate accordion buttons – this could be better but for the time being, more than adequate.
