Encore Electronics has just released the Slidemate ($249) programmable MIDI controller. It has a total of 120 programmable controls arranged as 15 groups of 8 faders. The faders have a 60mm travel and are made of metal, not plastic. 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 for editing rack effects, sound modules, keyboards, software synths, DAWs, etc. A soft rubber base prevents it from moving around while in use. It also provides a Scene/Panic button for added utility. The Slidemate can be programmed from a Windows or Mac application. Once programmed, the Slidemate will operate without the application. The application supports tons of popular and not so popular synths, and more definitions are being added regularly. They can be conveniently downloaded from the website. The Slidemate is available immediately and dealer info is on the site.
