Livid Ohm64 Wood MIDI Controller.

The Livid Ohm64 is an adaptable, programmable, and interactive MIDI control surface that gives you hands-on control over your music performance. The Ohm64 MIDI controller's high-quality sliders, knobs, and buttons provide the interface for creative expression, whether you're mixing samples and synths or DJ'ing a cutting-edge set. Constructed with an aluminum faceplate and a gorgeous body of hand-finished wood, the Ohm64's quality is felt down to your fingertips. All of Livid's controllers are proudly handcrafted and assembled for artists by artists in their Austin, Texas shop.The Livid Ohm64 has bi-directional talkback communication allowing the controller to talk to your software. Send MIDI messages to the Ohm64 to light up the buttons for an interactive performance. Completely programmable and mappable, Livid Ohm64 provides a flexible control surface to use with any software or setup. Ohm64 is completely USB-powered so you don't have to worry about adapters and power strips. Plus Livid Ohm64 is plug-and-play, so no drivers are required.TalkBack The Ohm64 not only sends MIDI data, it receives it as well. MIDI input is used to control 75 LEDs behind all buttons except the 6 "F" buttons. This provides an opportunity to create unique responses to your actions. For example, a very simple case is using Ableton Live to trigger clips. If you are controlling 8 tracks of 8 clips, MIDI sent to the Ohm will light up LEDs to let you know what clip is playing, as well as what clip is armed to play on the next quantization beat. Another example is setting up follow actions in Live to create loop slicers for segmenting and sequencing clips or parts of loops. Using the LEDs on the Ohm to let you know where you are lets you focus on the controller and see your arrangements on the grid.Livid's video performance software, called Cell DNA, comes with the Ohm64 and is pre-programmed to discover the Ohm64 on your USB port and adapt its MIDI settings to whatever the Ohm64 is programmed to send. Additionally, it will light up the clip bank to let you know what clips are currently selected and playing.Another advantage is extending the complexity of your setup. With programs such as Max/MSP, Max for Live, Plogue Bidule, PD, or Logic (to name a few), you can create patches that process, route, and send MIDI data to the Ohm64 that provide unique looks, visual patterns, or create "pages" to use the Ohm64 to control different parts of your programs. The Ohm64 Lights the LEDs in a way that makes sense to you, extends the usefulness of the controller, and keeps you from getting lost in the software.Step-sequencers get a huge advantage with LED talkback on 64 buttons. In combination with pages and tracks, you could create different sequences of eighth notes, sixteenth notes, or even 64th notes. Livid hopes that with some of their simple examples, you can start making interesting new instruments that take advantage of this feature. ...details
