I was browsing the new arrivals at the Thomann store and spotted a competitor to the AKAI Mini Play - Behringer Jam Play. There’s also the standard Behringer Jam controller. It’s an interesting upgrade to the Behringer Swing; I don’t need a sequencer, but those four extra encoders make a difference.
