Map Your Midi Device To Pc Controls

A good Midi interface device to connect the keyboard with the PC through MIDI ports and use Midi apps.

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.

I'm using this controller in tandem with the NanoKontrol (which has faders), to MIDI map all functions for Ableton Live. It offers plenty of programmable pads and 4 different scenes. The only drawback is its durability on the road (touring) over time...

This is a great combination for any flight or space sim. Lots of controls to customize, so you can map everything you need (very useful for VR). I'm using this mainly with Elite Dangerous - everything works like a dream.

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

Worked to connect a midi-only device to my computer to transfer data.

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?

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.

I just got this device the other day. After using it I was apply to import the pictures into Lightroom and use the map features. The picture showed up on the map and once I zoom in it show right where I shot the photos. I couldn't be more pleased with the device. I was using the device connected to the hot shoe. I am looking forward in using this device more in the future
