On the search for a small and compact, preferably metal, good quality midi controller with faders and buttons, maybe knobs to control my daw mixer and launch clips/scenes.
Please ignore the colors on the example pic, but something like that. I wouldn’t say I like the cheap plastic options like Korg nano Kontrol etc. Maybe custom-made? But no luck so far in finding anything close. TE TX-6 would also be great but obv not gonna buy it just as a midi controller.
So I was looking for a very small midi controller (to control a Blokas Midihub),
and I got this from Etsy?! (You can also buy directly on parkstool.com)
Plug in + go to the website / config CC’s if necessary + play.
But look at how cute it is!
I’m thinking of buying more, so I can glue them on my synths for extra functionality
Also glue one on the side my screen, so I always have MIDI via USB. Maybe.
The 8mu is as tiny as they come but the sliders have a satisfying amount of resistance and there’s a built in accelerometer that you can map to cc’s on an xy axis. I’d recommend the kit to anyone who’s comfortable doing some through hole soldering. It’s a pretty easy build.
