Livid Instruments Now Shipping The Ohm64

New MIDI Controller For DJs, VJs 09-Sep-09
Livid Instruments Now Shipping The Ohm64


Livid Instruments has announced that they are now shipping the rather tasty Ohm64 programmable interactive MIDI controller.

The Ohm64 combines the features of DJ and VJ controllers with the button matrix of the monome in a hand-crafted wood and aluminum body.

Features:

  • All of the buttons have programmable LEDs, so you can create your own interfaces simply by sending MIDI commands back to the Ohm.
  • The Ohm64 is completely plug and play and USB powered. This means you don’t need drivers to use it and it works with a single USB cable.
  • The smoothness of the faders and knobs of the Ohm64 give it a true instrument feel. High quality dual rail sliders and all knobs give you precise hands on control.
  • MIDI in and MIDI out jacks let you control analog MIDI devices or connect other controllers to your Ohm64. You can also send MIDI from your computer to the Ohm64.
  • The DJ style crossfader is designed to withstand heavy use and it comes with a custom wood knob designed for performance.
  • All of the assignments on the Ohm can be changed, remapped, and saved to the Ohm using Livid’s open source Ohm64 Editor software.
  • Livid Instruments controllers are built by hand (with the help of a few robots) and multiple finishes as well as an unfinished model are offered.
  • The Ohm64 comes with a full copy of the Cell DNA VJ software. Also available is a growing library of open source tools to transform you controller into a custom performance instrument.

Pricing and Availability

The OHM64 is available now from the Livid Shop for $599 USD.

This looks to be really sweet.

The stuff people are doing with the monome is interesting, but this and the Akai Live controller both look much more practical and flexible
