Neat looking USB controller modules - get a fader module, knob module… whatever you need, and snap the modules together. Only one USB cable needed.
I’ve ended up using the Monogram controllers instead, although their MIDI support is still a bit nascent — it’s primarily a Lightroom tool for me. That said, if you sign up for the SDK, there’s a ton you can actually do with the manual configuration options for midi— been meaning to dig in to this properly for a bit. Sadly, they do currently require the desktop code to be running to generate midi, but I’m still holding out hope (and talking to the dev team) about a class compliant firmware mode.
I wish all these would have stand alone midi modes for us hardware freaks!

Expensive , a single 16 encoder box is same price as a notation / akai full device.
Coincidentally, I have a Grid that’s just cleared customs. I’d also try out one of these Intech Studio Grids, but I need to send OSC. I’ll watch their firmware updates.
Similar to this but more fine grained in configurablilty, like the Monogram/Palette Gear is except with better support with MIDI, is the Special Waves Mine S.

Wish they’d turn down/off the background music when talking!
oh snap, totally forgot about this
Wondering if anyone has any reviews for these? Thinking about picking up the EN16 and EF44 while taking advantage of the 20% off. I’ll be replacing my midi fighter twister so I realize I’ll be losing out on some functionality but really want to add some sliders to my setup.
A bit late to the party here, but I’ve been using the Grids for the past few months and finally put together a wee demo video/review:
TL;DR they are neat, portable, work well, and are very handy. The software is very capable. Only down side for me is that there is a bit of a learning curve for some of the programming side.

I seen State Azure use a couple of these in a recent YouTube upload, was wondering in any of you gnauts have any experience with these?
