I have the Novation X-Station 25, great controller, and is also a great portable interface with effects. I have gone through 4 M-Audios, I am not joking. I had an 88 weighted M-Audio that I gave away for free. If someone wants it, the guy I gave it to hates it too, LOL... the action was horrible. The USB breaks on the M-Audio's in a year without fail (right outside warranty). A 25 note controller kind of sucks if you actually play piano or keyboard, and I constantly wish I had a 49 key or even the MicroKorg. I generally use the 25 key controller just to try out sounds before programming stuff manually since it really isn't big enough to "play" on except with one hand.

Edit: missed the word "cheap" - if you don't have the cash, I'd still go to Best Buy and get a damn M-Audio 49, they are $99. It will be dead in a year, but they are very SIMPLE which is good. I wouldn't buy a used M-Audio, or Alesis, or Behringer. Otherwise they are fine while they work.

I'll do it - how do you want to proceed? If you did the drums and bass for instance, could I modify it by chopping it up and moving it around or is the goal to just have someone do it and then make the other half fit like a glove? The power pop stuff is fine, I heard your 88MPH song, that kind of style is cool, very anamanaguchi...

I am also really interested in emulating SNES songs and wondered why nobody seems to like it. My guess is just because it sounds, to some, like an early GM set, a lot like a Roland Sound Canvas (SC-55 or 88), and doesn't have the novelty factor of pure chip. But I would argue the nostalgia factor is definitely there for me.

I have actually tried to do it. I think there is a definite style to SNES music, regardless of the sample set. Capcom, Konami, and Nintendo all made incredible music during this time, some of the best game music ever, imo.
