Desktop Volume And Expression Midi Controls

This is a correction of my initial review. The pedal jack is MIDI assignable, which confused me to believe it could be configured as expression via MIDI, but sadly is not. Is a simple TS jack. For expression, you need a TRS jack (tip, ring, sleeve). But is nothing that takes away from this awesome keyboard. Still I believe is one of the best values under 100$. The key action is great, and very soft for fast riffs. I'll need to find a way to fit my second expression pedal in my rig.

A great Expression Pedal! This is my 2nd. one that I use on my various keyboards. This one I use on my new FA-06 to control the volume.

I use this pedal as an expression/volume pedal with my tc electronic nova system. I chose this particular pedal because it plugs straight into the nova system making it simple to use. It is also a great value compared to the alternatives. The pedal opens up a whole world of possibilities on my nova system. I'm having great fun with it.

Fit my 1gang volume controls perfectly

this controller controls EVERYTHING would need it to, and is a cobination of a GREAT midi controller for beats, and an EVEN BETTER control surface...the key for me is the LARGE FONT LCD....no more squinting with reason, i dont even have much need to look anywhere else, it almost feels like a stand alone device....AWESOME NEKTAR

this case slipped on easily. The iPad volume and on/off controls all work really well with the case.

I bought this tape to label controls on MIDI controllers and I/O's on my audio interface. It keeps everything organized so when someone other than my self is looking an input or output they can find it easily. The tape is bright enough that if something is written on it it can be read in dim lighting. It's also strong enough to hold something down or secure something in a position so it doesn't fall.

I needed a MIDI fader -- just one -- to help with the operation of an iPad app (Luminair) that controls LED lighting using DMX. The app is very well thought out, but it can be difficult to dim the Master output without inadvertently hitting another control (like the Black Out Button). Using a MIDI controller for the Master was the solution, and the nanoKONTROL2 was the least expensive option I could find. Bonus -- it has 8 faders plus a bunch of other MIDI controllers and switches. All I needed to make it work was the USB camera connector for iPad. No configuration necessary other than to tell Luminair to learn which knob or fader I am working. Now I can use the Master fader as well as change intensities on 7 other fixtures with those faders. Just what I needed, and then some. For under $ what more could you ask for?

I bought the MicroFreak over a year ago, and I'm still finding new things to do with it. There are many digital oscillator types. While the oscillators themselves offer only three controls, the modulation matrix give this instrument much more depth and allows it to punch far above it's weight class. I'm glad I waited to write a review because since I bought it the device has received a massive firmware update (5th major update) that allows you to load short samples onto it. There are three sample playback modes (e.g. granular, oneshot) and these can be routed through the modulation matrix providing a very interesting sound design opportunties. Because this is such a popular item, I found that getting help with creating a patch or trouble shooting is easily available from the community of experts. The capacitive keyboard is a mixed bag. The aftertouch puts additional modulation dimension in the keys themselves. However, it's easy to touch the wrong note. I like owning such a unique playing interface, but if it's your only keyboard it's very non-standard. Also the capacitive controls and buttons, like the pitch bend ribbon don't respond well when running on USB power some of the times. I've found can be finicky even with the legit power supply. Even with a few flaws this thing is 5 stars. Very good value for money. PROS: Many Oscillator Models Works as CV to MIDI or MIDI to CV converter Step Sequencer Arpeggiator with interesting controls and MIDI out Analog filter* User-Sample Playback CONS: capacitive controls are touchy 12db filter only* * The SEM filter isn't bad, but I'd like to have seen a 24db filter as well. There are a range of sounds I can't make without outboard gear. I can't really knock the device too much for this though because the immense value of this thing delivers overwise.

using this to control Resolume Video software playback with midi controls. Does just what is needs to. construction is a bit lightweight, but this will stay in one location all the time, so durability not as much of an issue.
