We received our model. It arrived safely in the US and the controller works perfectly. These guys are innovative and legit. Hold your criticism until you have used the controller. It is really nice to have hardware control VSTs. There is a reason they were sold out.
This takes the level of control on plugins to a new level. Instant sync, select a plugin and all is there ready. Love the chainer too! Solo a plugin 😮❤ Zoom!
Just WOW! This thing definitely fills the gap between software and hardware and push the man/machine interaction to another level! No more "GUI" but just "UI". Well the design is a bit on the "garage project" side as the logo too (a bit old fashion '70s style). I hope in the future an "Ultra" version with a 17" FHD multitouch monitor (it would be amazing with a splittable screen with 2 plugins at the same time, say comp+eq, half screen and encoders for one vst and the other half for the other vst, like two of this machine in one), the "labels" out of the monitors in little RGB displays for each encoders (like the modern digital mixers), RGB led circles (absolute and relative) around the rotary encoders (like the BCR from Beh) and a more flat design. I would burn a x2 or x3 $$$ in an upgraded version like i described!
Funny thing is, since it's a smaller touchscreen - I would just reach out and touch the screen at that point. :) Also, "wrapper" is such a dirty word, already learned my lesson from AutoMap and that it's not worth it (same with Nektar and even Komplete Kontrol to a degree). To me this doesn't feel like hardware, it feels like a computer in a computer in a computer, if that makes sense. Nice and refreshing take on this type of solution though, for sure. Maybe if I tried it hands on I'd lke it, who knows.
I’ve been using this controller since 2020! Its functionality and the general concept of it has added an additional layer of speed to my workflow. Pre-assigning specific plugins and saving them as presets makes the whole workability a game changer indeed. Launch the controller’s plugin in your DAW, load the preset(s) and you are ready to go! Awesome work you guys! 🎛️
I'd almost forgotten about this one since last time it showed up. I'd have got one of these in a heartbeat if I hadn't been all outside the box these days.
I'd like to see an option for better looking virtual pots. The physical encoders are pretty featureless. That's fine. But what would bring it together would be something modeled off of a classic pot from a Neve console or the ability to select such a thing. A flat disk isn't very exciting.
Very well priced it seems, certainly for something with a full blown screen. I am curious @sonicstate is it just noisy there, or are there a multitude of languages in use based on the various countries these vendors come from. Have watched so many of these videos and often times the answers don’t even reflect your question lol
I appreciate the effort but this makes no sense. You can’t develop muscle memory, you still have to look at the screen and the knobs are in no relation to the plug ins plus you have to use a third party plug in to use it. Just make a controller with a lot of buttons and knobs that support midi, OSC and sysex and and customizable displays besides each of it and we‘re golden. Elektra one is probably the closest at the moment.
It really cannot get simpler than that. Each encoder gets the name of the linked parameter automatically. You don't need to remember anything. When changing presets on a plugin, the controller is always in sync. No jumps or pick ups.
it makes sense, the 2D rectangle of knobs around screen makes sense, it's how many people think when assigning a 2D plugin with knobs to controller - these left knobs to one page, there upper right knobs to other page .... it looks of, but it could work. I wouldn't mind additional extender though with let's say 12 or more knobs in 2x6 or 3x6 grid below the screen...... so I guess Electra at the bottom for synths and instruments, MP above it for FX 😎
I had my eyes on this; only issue is this is an actual monitor so it's not great if you have a portable mac with only one monitor out and you already use one. that's on apple. What I'd like is a novation type controller with a small screen on the bottom; but make it at least 32 encoders and throw in some switches so you can have full synths
@@mixalis1nl But this is just TOO much - the plugin there - then little visuals for each parameter? LED rotaries or at least putting the knobs over the screen so you're seeing one thing around the knob would be better. But overall this just seems confusing to me, cause my eye is drawn to the plugin, first and foremost - then I have to look ALL around the edge at 32 (!!) possible slots/knobs, then look to the knob to touch it... I think 8-12 knobs would have been better.
@@_EightySix why the fuck would anyone want to buy a hardware synth at this point? This is the nail in the coffin of the "muh tactile feel" argument that thing is an absolute godsent for people actually making a living with music production and not just goofing around with overprized and oversized and post their latest berhinger table top fart sound generator on social media...
With a hardware synth you’re limited to that synths sounds. The point of a hardware synth is the tactile functionality, with this you can apply that to any virtual synth easily. You could in theory use a hardware synths knobs to control a vst, however you’ll be missing the virtual display and easy of mapping. A hardware synth isn’t a viable alternative.

I really want one of these. Looks like an excellent centre piece for a studio.
It would be nice to see MP team up with a few plugin companies and offer various packages with the purchase of the hardware.
Der Hammer!!! Ich habe es gerade bestellt!! Model 2A. Ich freue mich schon wie ein kleines Kind auf Weihnachten.

Agree. It will never feel like the real thing. Great idea but probably gonna end up a gimmick
Really impressive this thing… Good work!

Hi
How does the encoders feel?
@@kosmikmusa The encoders (which are ‘endless’) feel smooth - including their rotation.
Can you switch from track to track without touching the mouse?

Change the knobs then..😂

That’s so well designed. Very beautiful work. Nice and clear.
Habla Tone, that's a new one for me
How many instances of the multi host can you use?
komplete kontrol has competition

Of course you can develop muscle memory if all of the parameters spill onto the same knobs every time..

You said all of that nonsense and then pointed to a laughably inferior product..😅😂😂. Hilarious.
Yes you’re right. This doesn’t translate well like the RockSolid or SSL UC1

The monitor works via usb-c
@@pb3662 M1/M2 macs only support two monitors; including the internal one; the problem is not the connector
780€ not bad.
It’s cool but it would be much more useful if it was kinda like one knob to handle everything
6:47 LOL 😂 what? 😂 no, never, not for you 😂
I like the idea, but it’s massive and awkward imo.
It is, I can imagine them doing a mini version at some point… 👍🏻
But a smaller version would mean you can't see the plugin. The idea is to see the plugin and parameter names next to each knob

I mean, at this point, just buy the hardware synth. This is ridiculous. It's cool, but ridiculous.
