Reply to Is everyone's controller easy to choke?

So there I was, practicing scratching with the jogwheels and i found a cool combination of scratching while tweaking multiple effects. I was looping deck A with scratching while deck B played a full track. I had gater set to 16th notes, reverb on about 60% and using formant filter to get that "wah-whoa-woo-wheeooowooowwww" style thing happening. makes for a neat combination if done tastefully! (that's the hardest part, right?)

i managed to freeze my controller three times during the ten minute mashup http://www.mixcloud.com/damieng/seek...litude-mashup/ due to sending more than one midi message from the controller. it seems to be too easy to overwhelm my usb bus by sending multiple messages at the same time. but i want to be able to scratch and use a filter sweep and do something else (i mean, i have ten fingers!).

does anyone have any insight into this?
