"Mystrix is an open-source, smart controller that has a lot of features. Our website is https://203.io/ , and more detailed information is in https://matrix.203.io

We just recently launched an OS 3.0 update for the device and are planning to release a Mystrix 2 soon. It would be great if you could help us and spread the word! I can’t appreciate that enough!

With Matrix OS 3.0, Mystrix got the following features:
Note App V2 with New Layouts, Control Bar, Pitchbend, Custom Scale, Modern Diatonic Scale, Arpeggiator, Chord, Note Latch, and more.

Python User Application Support
And a lot of QoL updates

On top of a suite of existing powerful features like
Customizable Control Map with advanced MIDI command, keyboard, and gamepad
Computer Software Integration
Chord Strumming

For Mystrix 2. It’s currently still under development, and we expect to launch it by the end of the year. It will have a few improvements on the existing one, like MPE surface, 6-axis gyro, new design, more IO options, etc.
