Hey yo, I make edm on abelton. I never really was a fan of constantly staring at a screen, and I been really taking advantage of the features on my launchkey mini to help not have to stare at the computer. Anyway I'm I'm interested on getting another controller to expand the things I could do without looking at a screen, while also maintaining the convenience of using a DAW. To be clear this is not a post of me trying to go DAWless. So what's cool midi controllers are out there, I'm really just curious so no wrong answers. However it would be super cool if yall mentioned something under like 500$. Thanks :)

Im looking for a powered pa set up for dj gigs for small venues/remote locations. Im trying to find like a package deal with at least one subwoofer (preferably 2) it has to be powered I dont want to lug around a separate amp to power the set up. I've been researching online and im just so overwhelmed with all the options out there. Theres so many brands at so many price points, I want a decent set up but I don't want to empty my pockets for it either. I also don't want them to be super cheap with bad sound or construction. If anyone has brands/ systems to check out that would be awesome thank you
EDIT:I'm not looking for brand name stuff. I'm aware JBL, mackie and brands as such are out of my price ranges, I'm looking for a BUGET set up thanks. Yall aren't even trying to help me :,(

I'm looking to make like a brassy stab sound, the example I have in mind is, do you wanna dance by KX CHR. I've tried looking for other post on this but the answers weren't really helpful. If anyone has some pointers, tutorials, tips tricks, anything would be appreciated
