"The Minicommand is a flexible MIDI controller designed to be small and easy to use. In fact, it is a very special MIDI controller, because you can completely change the way it functions: you can use it as a sequencer, as a controller, as a backup tool, as a MIDI merger, as a MIDI clock, etc… The principle behind this is very simple: a MIDI controller contains a small CPU (like the processor in your desktop computer) that runs a single program. This program controls everything the device does: it recognises button presses and knob turns, it displays data on the screen, it receives and sends MIDI messages, and it can read and store files on the internal SD-card. Normally, a MIDI controller has a single firmware that can’t be easily changed (either the manufacturer has to upgrade it, or you have to use a complicated flashing tool), and you are limited to what the manufacturer has programmed into this firmware.

The approach of the Minicommand is the exact opposite of this. You can very easily upload a new firmware over the MIDI connection to the device. Thus, you can easily browse the Ruin & Wesen Firmware repository, choose a firmware you like and want to try, upload it to the device, and get down to business. The Minicommand needs to be connected to a computer just the time it takes to upload the new firmware. After that, you can use it as a standalone MIDI controller."
