    My friends started this controller company. They said in the end its a headache but worth it. They kinda broke even after all expenses.

    depends what you use it for.
    I've always wanted a midi harmonica for live performance, that could be quite a treat..especially with a foot pedal to change samples, envelopes, reverbs, etc.

    Looks nice actually, not sure what the keybed is, but nice design and that beautiful EMPTY space atop to put other modules like a Minitaur or keyboard on ...

    As a consumer/customer, I'd go wild if someone created something like the discontinued Livid DS-1 but with 16 channels or more.

    Is this possible, a gap in the market? I'm still using two UC-33'S ffs and was so damn happy Windows 11 recognised them. But one compact unit could be perfect for home studio and live performance, imho.

    MIDI can't be controlled, its a force of nature...

    we try to bend it to our will, but MIDI will always win..
