What type of controller is used in this picture of daft punks live set gear

http://digitaldj.files.wordpress.com...ft_pyramid.jpg

its labeled #4 they are hexagonal buttons? idk

the other things are minimoog voyagers, Behringer BCR2000s, Lemur touchscreens, and I read that they use Ableton live

Aren't those just spotlights?

click on the picture, on the right page towards the middle, theres a controller with a yellow circle labeled 4 on it.

but yeah, it controls the lights.

DMX controllers, as far as I know, you won't be able to use it for MIDI.

Oh I wasn't sure just never have seem them before. It's amazing set up they use including the BCR2000s and the minimoogs, I thought their live set up would be something much different.

yeah i thought there would be a doepher in there somewhere! but as mentioned they're dmx, although i remember reading that they also used ableton to control lighting by converting midi to dmx etc..

You could be right Chris. I am not that aware of DMX to MIDI conversions.

I think it's the Manta. Saw it in this CDM post (Videos!)

They literally are lights. Possibly "Color Kinetics LED Colorblast 12" but I'm not too sure.

I actually posted a few days ago wondering if anyone managed to use lighting desks as midi controllers....having used some BIG ones in the past, they offer a bucketload of faders / buttons for little money.

you CAN get conversion boxes like this one and I believe the behringer eurolight can be used as a midi controller out of the box!

I think DP might be using a custom version harmonic midi controller like the Axis 64 .. never seen a lighting controller like that and the hex pattern makes sence for midi notes
