Livid Instruments CNTRL:R
Finally a controller that makes since.
saw this the other day looks pretty good… richie hawtin helped design it aparently
Since when?
Yeah, it looks pretty nice…only $699 too, but no soundcard - just midi control, and no jogs or cross fader or touch strip…
I would be interested to try this out with the bridge with serato and ableton…
looks like a sweet-ass controller. I’ve messed around with LI gear before and it’s top-notch goodness. If I could have the same thing but cut in half with just the endlesss encoders i’d consider dropping coin.
I’ve owned a Ohm64 and I really didn’t like the pads/buttons on them. They had quite a long travel and also felt wobbly as the rubber pads where about 1 cm long of which about half sits in the controller itself with lots of spacing. Knobs were alright except there was distance between the knob and the plate and the faders were ok too, but not comparable with faders on a mixer.
I really like the layout and ideas on most of the Livid controllers, just don’t like the materials they’re made of.
I’m loving this thing…if i ever find one used for 500 then i will pick it up for sure
step sequencer looks awesome for live performance and they finally got rid of the crossfader which never fit in this controller because nobody mixed with music that required a crossfader…
Seems like they have finally found their nitch in the flooded controller market, i would love to try one out.
exactly.
However I see this controller as a perfect companion for Ableton Live’s drumRacks, although I wish they would have made velocity/aftertouch drumpads. I wasn’t thinking DJ controller so much. I dont come to this site as much as I used to, I forget it’s less controllerism these days and more standard DJ stuff.
Oh yeah…for sure its looks like an awesome live production controller.
That’s the best part by far
wish it had a horizontal fader… still ill as hell though. Anybody had a chance to use the ohm64 yet?
Why?
Sold my mk3’s for this… Bahhhhhhhhh can’t wait. I’ve got some crazy ideas running around in my head for this being my all-in-one Serato/bridge controller.. But just ideas until it gets here. I remember when they first leaked some pics and info that they were working with Hawtin on a controller.. Now I’m just glad I didnt bite on the RGB as this seems much more comfortable for my sequence loving ass..
Hi, my name is m00n and I’m a gear junkie… 
A QuNeo in the centre would be a great addition as the 16 pads aren’t velocity sensitive, which would be great for Ableton’s Drum Racks. I think this will look great next two my setup of two X1’s and Maschine.
Although the K2 is mighty tempting as well, and if you jopin two K2’s your (sort of ) half way there anyway, plus you get a soundcard(s)
