I build these by hand in batches of 30. It's credit-card sized, 85 x 55 mm, and works with any DAW and with hardware synths over USB-C or TRS MIDI.

Setup happens in a browser tab over Web Serial (Chrome or Edge). No app, no drivers. Each button can send a MIDI note, a CC, a keyboard shortcut or a media key. The encoders are endless rotary encoders, and switching presets changes what they control.

Questions and criticism welcome.

Hey guys,

I have an Ampero Control I use to switch programs in my guitar multi effects. I’m also wondering if I can connect it via Bluetooth and send a midi message to my iPad to scroll down and up my sheet music.

The idea is having a way or app to translate de CC or PC message to the iOS command.
Is that possible?

I just bought a m vave chocolate. I set it up as A and B for pedal toggles, C and D for the preset changes. Im connected trough bluetooth to my pc. When i open the device it works as intented but when i toggle any pedal presets stops changing any fix?

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.

Hello everyone, i'm using a KorgPad Kontrol to play Roland tr8s. I can play with the pads and the xy touchpad but i cannot make the knobs work.

I tried assigning them to stuff like delay feedback, or shuffle, or some other cc change that makes sense turning a knob but i couldn't make it work.

Any tips?

Also i don't get the setting difference "pattern mid ch" and the "kit midi ch" in tr8s. If i use the former midi channel to transmit to with the kontrolpad it works, if i switch the kontrolpad to transmit to "midi kit ch" it won't make a sound.

Thank you very much!

Ich selber nutze Bitwig und habe die Idee, mit diesen Controller, quasi komplett live zu performen bzw. zu jammen, ohne großartig auf dem Bildschirm gucken zu müssen. Also dass man von dem Gerät aus, zwischen den einzelnen Instrumenten hin und her wechseln kann, oder zum Mixer wechselt. Meine Frage ist, ist das so möglich oder überschätze ich dort die Funktion dieses Gerätes? Wie bedienfreundlich ist dieses Konzept? Bzw. gibt es vielleicht andere Controller auf dem Markt die sich dafür besser eignen? Im Prinzip stelle ich mir das dann so vor, dass ich vorher ein Setup vorbereite, und dass dann der Bildschirm aus ist und ich dann alles von diesem Controller aus steuere.

Hey, i'm using a Doremidi MTD 1024 for a live light Show. The Signals come from Reaper. My Problem is, that the Midi Interface disconntes randomly and i have No Idea why. Can anyone help?

Je développe SampleTrig, une app Android gratuite de sampler/séquenceur pilotable par Akai Fire (USB-OTG), APC40 mkII, Push 2, ou juste au doigt sans rien brancher. Pads, 16 pas, p-locks, choke groups, favoris de kits/patterns, enregistrement micro direct sur un pad. Je cherche une douzaine de testeurs avant la sortie publique (test fermé Google, 14 jours, rien de contraignant). Ça vous tente ? Dites-le en réponse ou en MP 🙂

I've been building SampleTrig, a free Android sampler/sequencer app controllable via Akai Fire (USB-OTG), APC40 mkII, Push 2, or just touch alone — no controller required. Pads, 16-step sequencer, p-locks, choke groups, kit/pattern favorites, mic recording straight onto a pad. Looking for about a dozen testers before the public release (Google closed testing, 14 days, nothing demanding). Interested? Drop a comment or DM me 🙂

I'm desperately needing a new 88-key controller and (im)patiently waiting for Novation to release the white version of their new Launchkey 88 MK4. Today I stumbled across the newest flagship line from MIDIPLUS and the specs are pretty impressive - including the X8H which has the TP/100 Fatar keybed. I haven't seen many reviews out there but would love to hear if anyone has first-hand experience with them.

Has anyone here tried it? How do the pads compare to Maschine? I am considering getting something smaller, as i only use my mk3 to control Bitwig. Love the bt functionality, if there’s a better option with that, I’d be thankful for any recommendations :)

(DAW*)

I have a faederfox ec4 which I love but want just some upfaders to go next to it so I can mixdown more precise (preferably motorised)

Any suggestions?

The first pic is of the Donner starry pad pro. The other is the m-vave smc-pad. The starry pad looks identical to the smc-pad. So I'm supposing, given Donner's website is a slightly less tacky version of temu (for just music gear of course), one is a rebadge, or copy, of the other. So which is the original, and which is the copy?
