At Superbooth 2023, we spoke to Marius from MP MIDI about their MP controller that allows users to control all their third-party plugins like hardware. Compatible with major DAWs such as Logic, Ableton, Studio One, and Cubase, the controller features 127 encoders, four pages for mapping multiple parameters, and a favorites list for customization. The MP controller also allows for zooming on small plugins, controlling multiple parameters from a single knob, and templates for individual plugins are saved on the user's machine. The device can be connected via USB-A to USB-C or Thunderbolt, and there's an HDMI out to put the interface on a big screen, should you wish.
MP MIDI is available for pre-order on the MP MIDI website for €780 including VAT with free shipping.
