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!

video upload by Gabe Miller Music

AKAI PROFESSIONAL® UNVEILS THE NEW MPC STUDIO: AN EXCEPTIONAL MODERN MUSIC PRODUCTION SOLUTION

Adding to the MPC lineup, the new MPC Studio delivers a serious music production and recording system for the modern music creator.

Cumberland, RI USA (September 21, 2021) — Akai Professional, a leading manufacturer of music equipment for performers and producers, is proud to announce its newest music production system, the MPC Studio.

The new MPC Studio redefines tactile control with a hardware offering that intuitively delivers a modern and deep level of command over the music production process. Together with the MPC2 Desktop Software DAW for both Mac and PC, MPC Studio offers a total creation package for the serious modern beat-maker and music producer.

MPC Performance and Control

At the heart of MPC Studio are the world-renowned 16 full-size pressure and velocity sensitive RGB-backlit pads with aftertouch. These pads optimize your performance to play and record patterns, notes, chords, and more with sound precision and an accurate visual display of velocity and pad groupings.

The new assignable Touch Strip will elevate any performance with invigorating expression. Add articulation to a string or guitar instrument, add modulation or pitch bend to a keyboard synth, control Note Repeat for hi-hats, snares, effects and much more. The assignable Touch Strip will quickly become your favorite tool to shape and sculpt your performances and productions.

The full color LCD ensures users will stay locked into every creative moment with vibrant visual feedback. Scroll through track names, plugin instrument presets, browse categories, monitor parameter values when dialing in effects, or trim and chop samples. The color LCD makes work more efficient by enabling you to keep your eyes on the controller, and your focus squarely on the music. Navigate sessions big and small with dedicated MPC Transport controls, complete with Locate buttons for time saving and precise location spotting.
