the Ohm 64

Livid Instruments is now taking pre-orders for their incredibly attractive Open Source Midi Controler. It features an 8×8 grid of programmable back lit pads. 16 rotary knobs. 8 Faders, A cross fader and 8 mute/solo buttons and a tempo tap. It’s fully class compliant so no need to bother with drivers. It has Midi in and Midi out so you can control external devices with it. It’s USB powered  It’s wood paneled which automatically means cool.

One of the main features of this is it’s openness. It comes with Open Source software tools to create your own LED talkback interaction. And could possible support OSC.

Each one comes with Ohm Core software included for MIDI editing, and LED talkback programming and Cell DNA video performance software included.

It ships in June and it’s available for pre-order now for $599

I’m considering getting one. If I do I’ll post a review.
