Encore Electronics has recently released the Knobby ($199) programmable MIDI
controller.
The Knobby has 15 banks of 8 knobs and each one can be assigned to any
MIDI channel and programmed to be a sysex message, standard controller,
NRPN, or RPN message. It has high resolution controls and is great for
editing rack effects, sound modules, keyboard, software synths, etc. It
has a full rubber base which prevents it from sliding off your work surface
while in use. It also provides a Scene/Panic button for added utility.
Knobby
comes with a user-friendly Windows application for setting up the unit
and can be used with or without the application. The application supports
tons of popular and not so popular synths, and more definitions are being
added daily. These can be conveniently downloaded from the Encore Electronics web site. Also, a
Mac application is coming soon.
The Knobby is available immediately. You also have a chance to win one of three units that will be given away to people that create the best instrument profiles for the Knobby. Visit the Encore Electronics web site for full details on the contest and to download the Windows editor.
