it’s a thing of beauty to be able to control amp levels of each track with out looking at the screen irregardless of what track screen the OT is currently displaying.

Big game changer for me & the clear difference between this product and the countless other assignable midi controllers:

  1. Same materials as the OT, very solid alps faders and overall build quality is the best I’ve seen in this size of midi controller. Sits at the same exact height/width of the OT so your wrists can sit comfortably on the edges

  2. Plug it in and it works, you can also switch the faders to control pitch with a few button presses which is very handy for sampling. (code can be altered via arduino for more advanced stuff)

  3. Idiot proof! The choice to not make a button, fader, and encoder for every function and to limit to the important stuff (amp level, mutes, solo etc) makes it easy to learn and hard to mess up during live sessions/performances.

  4. Firmware updates! AGKW guys are very passionate about their craft so by purchasing you support them and allow them to improve the product further. (the oktakontrol can be used as a midi sequencer, and they’re planning to make a software editor for the functions if you don’t fancy coding)

I also plug in my kenton usb-midi host into the midi in of the oktakontrol to use my OP-1 keyboard to play the A4 and send start/stop to the OT and it works as it should.

Very happy after owning it for many months, playing with it live, and using it to play the faders during recording.

I want another one :smiley: Probably will assign it to the 8 midi tracks on the OT and control velocity with the faders instead :imp:
