NAMM 2025: Dog Paw Music MPE Controller

video upload by sonicstate

"At NAMM 2025, we spoke to Bill from Dogpaw Music about their new and intriguing *controller*. Bill explained that the device merges the features of traditional grid controllers, like Ableton Push or Launchpad, with the dynamics of a weighted keyboard, providing improved tactile feedback for playing. The product supports both MIDI and MPE outputs, suitable for connecting to software like Ableton or direct speaker connections via its onboard engine. Essentially, the controller features a Raspberry Pi, enabling it to potentially host plugins in the future. The device is designed to respond to dynamics, tracking pressure and lateral motion for a more interactive experience.

Bill also noted the inclusion of customizable settings, like adjustable interval layouts or scale modes, which could make it more accessible for different levels of musical knowledge. A Kickstarter campaign is set to launch in March, with introductory pricing around a thousand dollars.
