Livid Ohm

Hey guys/gals this is my first post, I’ve been lurking for a while, but I decided not to post anything until now.

Anybody heard of this little controller here?

Its called the Ohm, and its produced by a company called Livid. As far as I know, they make other sorts of midi controllers. This one caught my attention because it looks like a monome controller, only it has pots and faders (which is what the monome is missing in my opinion). Livid is selling them for just under $800 USD

Anyway, they have a wooden desktop version and a rack-mount version

There are some videos on youtube here: http://youtube.com/results?search_query=livid+ohm&search_type=&aq=0&oq=livid+o

They’re mostly just demonstration videos by Livid. I have yet to see any footage of anyone actually using this device. I just thought this was interesting and I figured maybe you all would like it.

ill tell you one thing. they look damn fine!

damn that is pretty, but definitely seems more slanted towards VJ style control as asides from the sweet grid the analogue controls are a tad sparse

It is pretty, but I’d love to see it with three extra knobs/rotaries per fader. :wink:

I am on the fence about making a diy controller that is a cross between the Ohm, NS7 and the VCI-100. I would call it… Awesome. lol

I really do want to make this hybrid controller though.
