A midi controller with 16 endless push encoders, together with 4 mini arcade buttons with built in LEDs gives you a total of 20 buttons and 16 encoders. This all together with Micro USB (for power, configuration and USB Midi) plus full size Midi DIN OUT connector all in a small pedalsized box mailed this a unique, wonderful, super handy and lovely midi controller.
As any other controller in my shop you can use it on every computer, laptop, synthesizers and other midi gear.
The controller is fully configurable via a browser or desktop application as they have Opendeck software onboard. A free (Micro) USB cable is included to get started right away! It's fully midi compliant and works with almost every DAW, midi gear and without installing drivers or software.

It is very easy to use, no setup needed (although available), no separate power, no manual needed, just plug and play! The controller is the size of a guitar pedal box and has perfectly small sized arcade LED buttons and potentiometers (on default without additional knobs, as this would make the controller bigger). It is in a strong plastic case.
It is also midi over USB so you can to plug this controller in another device (laptop, sequencer, synth) that supports USB midi (/midi host). So this device works like any other USB MIDI controller. You can now even connect it by using a standard midi cable and use the MIDI DIN OUT on the back of this box (you still need to power it via USB via a laptop, plug, power bank or whatever provides power via USB).
Controller is ideal for:
- Controlling additional parameters on synths for which you otherwise have to dive through menus
- Use multiple presets / banks perfectly working together with the endless encoders
- Control various parameters in your DAW or DJ software (Like Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic, Reason, Garageband, Reaper, Studio One, Bitwig, Cubase, Traktor Pro, Recordbox, Virtual DJ, Serato DJ and many many more)
- Control parameters of your iPad and Android Tablets, or your phone like your Android phone and all others that have a USB which you can connect a USB device to.
- Use the built in LEDs to show status of buttons on the other device on your controller.
- You could even control your lights or music or anything that accepts the standard midi signals!
About the Opendeck software:
This is really great firmware on the controller which you fully configure using OpenDeck (originally created by Shantea Controls). You can configure the controller via an online configurator or download an app on your laptop. You can even configure it on you Android Phone or Android tablet as they support the Web Midi protocol via Chrome! See for a demo https://youtu.be/7X2LC0JMfAU . The controller will be fully configured before sending it to you so you can directly use it, but if you want to configure it later yourself then make sure to check out all configuration options on https://beatsandbuttons.com/2023/03/01 /use-the-opendeck-configurator/ (Beats & Buttons is a Eurorackworld brand).
