Fader controllers

Pretty impressive functionality. Lots of really good new controllers this year.

The timed snapshot/drop thing is a neat concept. Color me intrigued…
Had a live performance the other night where this would have been very welcome.

Yeah

Yes seems really useful. I’m pretty happy with my faderfox PC12 for live performance but I miss having faders so I could be interested in something like this. Also the connectivity seems pretty great.

Remains the price question…

They seem pretty boutique plus metal chassis , sophisticated firmware , and lots of I/o. I’d be pleasantly surprised if it’s under 400€.

I don’t love the design but at least it’s unique?

Concept definitely fills a dawless niche.
BRB gonna submit a feature request to Oxi for launching snapshots quantized to bars

Was wondering about faders and snapshots but it looks like it has LEDs to suggest where the fader should be, implying takeover / pickup modes.

LED rings solve that for the encoders.

Edit: seems like a missed opportunity not to put led strips next to the faders to show position.

Also a price factor.

lolz, the stated drop function intention is being able to finish buildups with hands in the air before it drops :laughing:

I guess a 400 coin price is a fantasy, it will be 2-3x of that, no?

Yeah maybe a little too hopeful… Maybe 2x tops? at 800€?

It’s still at the end of the day a midi controller with fancy firmware. If oxi one can retail for 750 launch price and 879 for their mark 2… but different companies and different economics ofc.

Agree the marketing language is a bit cringe… but I do agree with the problem statement cause I’ve had it. Some audiences like being visually cued by the performers to know when a big moment is coming, but since I’m doing everything manually I always have resting stress face on. my hands are always occupied, especially for those big moments.

Sometimes once or twice during a set it would be nice to script, automate a few bits and have time to enjoy the performative aspect of being onstage, making eye contact with people in the audience etc

No sparking equipment or fans leaving the floor because of it though :rofl::rofl::rofl:

800

Neuzeit Instruments tell us that it’ll be priced at €799 and available in late summer.
