CONTROLLER FOR VOCE V3?

The V3 only uses note velocity as an option for the percussion.

I like the FATAR semi-weighted actions.  The Roland A-30 feels very B-3 
like.  Check out companies which use FATAR actions like Ensoniq, Roland, 
and FATAR brand.  However, be careful of the electronics used in the FATAR 
brands.  The software and hardware are probably not up to the level of 
other brands.

Hope this helps,
