"The Killamix™ DJ, as its name suggests, is aimed at the DJ market. Again this controller is mainly aimed at Ableton Live and Tractor users.

The unit has three channel strips and a master section.

Each channel strip has a Master Volume with six rotary knobs below that. Beneath that again are 6 buttons which illuminate when active, intended for mutes, AB selection and headphone monitor. Beneath that are two pads which can be used for firing off samples. It is intended that on production versions, these pads would be velocity sensitive, allowing them to be used as drum pads.

The master section is similar but beneath the master volume has four rotary knobs and a joystick. Again it has the six buttons, and below that a cross-fader.

The whole unit is finished in brushed aluminium, and has USB and MIDI ports for connection to your computer. Production models would be mains powered, although the prototype shown uses a power adaptor. Production models will have aluminium knobs too, rather than the Moog type knobs on this prototype."


"LNDR is a master and slave pair that allows MIDI to be sent accurately in both directions across distances of over 500 metres (1640 feet) using a standard CAT5 cable.

This is over 33 times the distance achievable using standard MIDI cables. Master unit is mains powered using included PSU."

"MERGE-4. Merge the MIDI data from up to 4 separate sources into a single MIDI data stream which appears at both of the MIDI out sockets.

Mains powered using supplied power adaptor so you can fit and forget. Brushed aluminium case."

"The USB SOLO [previously posted] enables you to get the most from your analogue synth via your computer’s USB port.

All the features of the proven Pro-Solo mkII but with 40 memories plus the higher speed and greater convenience of a USB connection."
