Subject of a newly-launched Kickstarter campaign, SHORT is a MIDI controller compatible with the Novation Circuit groovebox.
A spokesperson had this to say, "We're keen on our Groove Box, a tremendous tool which enables us to create great pieces of music. But you need to plug it to a computer to set up complex patches, and we thought it was not convenient on jam or live sessions, when you want to tune patches on the fly. So we created a very simple MIDI controller: SHORT. SHORT is a tiny, intuitive, battery powered tool. Just plug it to the groovebox and control every single synth parameter."
