A compact MIDI keyboard controller
that provides 35 different controllers
The microKONTROL’s velocity-sensitive 37-note mini keyboard provides
Octave Shift and Transpose functions that allow it to cover the full range
of C-1 through G9. Eight different velocity curves are provided – you can select the response that works best for your playing. Eight encoders
and sliders, sixteen pads, a joystick with switch, and support for pedals
give you a total of 35 different controllers, making this the ultimate
controller for direct and intuitive operation.
Eight encoders and sliders, with associated LCDs
The eight encoders and sliders can be assigned to transmit any MIDI control
change (including NRPN and RPN messages) to control volume, panning, or anything
else. Operating a controller will transmit the MIDI message assigned to it.
Each encoder and slider also has an LCD (sub display) that indicates the parameter
and the transmitted value, with the backlight color changing between orange
and green to distinguish between the encoder and slider. Since you won't have
to watch your computer screen while you operate the controllers, your fingers
will be linked to your music in a more physical way. The LCD can display either
decimal or hexadecimal values.
Sixteen trigger pads that also function
as control switches
The microKONTROL provides sixteen trigger pads that can be assigned with an
unprecedented degree of freedom. The pads can be used to trigger notes with
full velocity transmission, or assigned to transmit MIDI control changes to
operate the transport of your recording software or act as any type of switch.
