Palette - Freeform Snappable Hardware Controller Interface on Kickstarter

Palette: Hands-on Interaction
Published on Nov 21, 2013 Palette Gear·1 video

"BACK US ON KICKSTARTER: http://kck.st/17O9WOP

This is Palette. Palette is a freeform hardware interface.

It offers hands-on control of your favorite software. Connect sliders, dials and buttons to create a controller that is made to fit you.

Unlike a point and click interface or a glass touchscreen, these physical inputs give you precision and control that you can feel with your fingertips.

Simply interact with Palette to adjust any feature within your software ranging from basic games to professional creative suites.

Existing interfaces, assume that you work exactly the same as everyone else, but you design Palette to fit your unique workflow.

Setting up is as easy as plugging Palette into your laptop. It recognizes the software you're running and becomes a controller that will grow with your needs (--which means) matching your unique style no matter what gear you're using.

Building Palette begins with the power module. Connect as many sliders, dials and buttons as you like and easily assign functions to them using the Palette Desktop App. You can load preset profiles or set them individually.

This integration of hardware and software makes the platform easy for anyone to use.

Palette connects you to your best work, in a way thats personal, and hands-on."

Nutekk Labs on Wolfgang Palm's PPG WaveGenerator for Mac and PC

via Nutekk Labs on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"Working with Wolfgang Palm on the new PC/Mac Version of the Highly Acclaimed PPG WaveGenerator"

Additional details via Nutekk Labs.

"For many years, after working with both Mac and Windows, my platform of choice is almost always Windows. I like the freedom of Windows, I overclock and run my operating system stripped down, lean and mean. It is this type of tinkering that led Waldorf to notice my abilities when I managed to make a "work-around" for their AFB-16 by substituting an older usb subsystem in the current day Windows. Ultimately Waldorf gave me the opportunity to beta test and eventually sound design for some pretty amazing synths, including the PPG V3, where I had the honor to first meet and work with Wolfgang Palm.

After working with Wolfgang on several projects for the ipad I was very excited to hear from him when he asked if I would be interested in doing some sound design for the PPG WaveGenerator for his new Windows and Mac version. Wow, I never expected to be able to use the WaveGenerator in my much preferred Windows environment. Without hesitation the work began, creating a very special and inspired 23 program bank that will be included in the factory release. While the ios version of the WaveGenerator is incredible ... it is even better to be able to use it in Windows. Hope you enjoy it too!"

Scales Mode Project Video

"QuNexus Scales Mode uses two Max for Live devices to enable easy playing within a user specified scale and key. The devices light up specific keys on the QuNexus for the given scale to indicate which keys should be pressed without effecting QuNexus' MIDI and control voltage output. Scales mode is also available as a standalone device.
