Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I cant stress enough that this controller is not for those people who just want to "plus in and play" or even just to map it to Ableton. However if you're like me and you're going to use it for max/msp then this is really quite awesome. The support for this thing is pretty fantastic all the max/msp sources for their standalone editors are on their site. The thing runs solely off the usb port which makes set up quite easy. You can edit the LEDs on the block by just sending a combination of 144, 0-63, 60 or 0 in a message which really opens up the aesthetics of this controller. I've been playing with it for a month or so now and I've been very happy with the look and feel of this controller. I would say that if you have the money spring for the OHM64, just because 8 knobs and 2 sliders has been rather limiting but that has been my only complaint about this device!
