The Smallest Midi Controller EVER

video upload by Gabe Miller Music

"I test and review the Noise Machine (NMSVE) by THIS.IS.NOISE inc, the smallest midi controller I could possibly find."

via this.is.NOISE

this.is.NOISE inc is a start-up company founded by two brothers from Toronto, Ontario.

We build unconventional MIDI controllers that are set on changing the where, when, and how music is made.

NMSVE stands for: Noise Machine Straight Vibin' Edition. NMSVE is an ultra portable BLE MIDI controller that is used with MIDI software. We believe NMSVE works best with mobile devices (iOS, iPadOS, Android), however NMSVE can connect to just about any platform - even hardware synths using Bluetooth adapters!

Common use cases: triggering samples, controlling FX, wireless live sets, MIDI looping, lighting + audio, and of course - making beats on the go!

Additional details:

NMSVE
Noise Machine Straight Vibin' Edition

powerful, yet portable!

The main idea behind NMSVE was to create a portable MIDI controller made for the modern beat maker.

A device that's fun to play, compact, and functional that DOESN'T take up valuable desk space.

NMSVE works by wirelessly connecting to MIDI capable software on your smartphone, laptop, or PC/MAC via Bluetooth.

Consisting of 12 buttons, a knob, and a slider, NMSVE allows you to choose from 12 MIDI channels and offers 3 modes of use... all in a case that's smaller than your wallet!
