MIDI控制器

Notes: A neat button module with long-lasting 4x4 tactile buttons that provide instant access to triggering samples, launching clips, controlling playback, or just simply drumming.

Set them to momentary, 2 or 3-step toggle action to enjoy playful experimentation. Can be used with other Grid controllers used as a HID macro controller or for MIDI programming in your creative environment.

Equipped with customisable multi-coloured LED lights to enable labelling in dark environments. Facilitate differentiating each potmeter by changing the colour of each indicator LED, adjusting brightness levels individually or adding pulsing animations.

Thanks to its compact and lightweight structure, the BU16 is a fully ergonomic parameter controller with easily mappable push buttons.

It is recommended that Grid is connected directly to the computer with a USB-C cable (this is not included). Some USB hubs may not work with Grid, due to issues with how the various class compliant communication methods establish connection through a hub with the host computer.

Most digital audio workstations can identify Grid as a MIDI controller and appear as a MIDI mappable device. When multiple modules are interconnected, Grid is identified as a single control surface. If the interconnected controllers are plugged in separately into the same Host, they appear as Grid #1, Grid #2 MIDI devices and so forth.

By default, through the Host's MIDI learn functionality, all of the control elements can be mapped. Grid's default firmware uses a unique dynamic assignment, so a 10 module Grid control surface will have unique Channel, Command and CC/Note assignments on each control element.

Grid controllers are shipped with firmware default configuration. To modify the configurations of the controllers, the Grid Editor cross-platform application can be used. Through the Grid Editor, suggested manufacturer profiles and community profiles are also available. Grid has an event driven architecture, where every interaction with the controller triggers an event. The triggered event runs the configured actions, like setting LED colours and intensity.

Events on Grid available for configuration:
Init - when a page is initialized
Potmeter - fader or potentiometer change event
Encoder - rotation of endless encoders
Button - switch button or encoder interaction
Utility - side button
Midi rx - MIDI processing incoming to Grid
Timer - delayed message triggers

Grids are created to suit distinguished workflows. Whether it comes to controlling outboard hardware gear like synthesizers, guitar pedals, and effect boxes, or inboard software such as DAWs, Lightning, and VSTs, a Grid controller is an ideal choice.

Get started with Grid in an instant: just plug in, snap together and play. There is no need for a brain module or any additional software components.

Notes: The PO16 is a sleek, compact, single-turn rotary potentiometer module now built with metal shaft potentiometers. Suitable for controlling quick motion changes like EQ, filters, or synth parameters, which are mapped out as one-knob-per-function. Equipped with customisable multicolored LED lights to enable labelling in dark environments. Facilitate differentiating each control element by changing the color of each indicator LED, adjusting brightness levels individually or adding pulsing animations.

The Grid Editor enables a highly-customizable controlling solution through in-depth programmability in LUA code.

Compatible with Mac OS, Windows, Linux operating systems and mobile platforms. Grid supports USB native control options like MIDI, HID keyboard, mouse and game control.

Notes: BU16 Series 3 is a compact and expressive button module designed for dynamic control in creative environments. It features a 4x4 grid of MX Gateron Hall effect switches, offering velocity and pressure sensitivity for responsive, nuanced input - ideal for triggering samples, launching clips, controlling playback, or finger drumming with more depth.

Each button is backed by an RGB LED, and the default keycaps feature cutouts, ensuring that the LED indicators remain clearly visible during use. The keycaps are interchangeable, making it easy to customize layout, feel, or labeling to fit your workflow.

The fiberglass front panel now has a textured finish, giving the module a solid, durable feel with improved grip for everyday use.

BU16 buttons can be configured for momentary, two-step, or three-step toggles, encouraging playful experimentation in both performance and production setups. Fully compatible with other Grid modules, BU16 can be used as a MIDI controller or HID macro pad, depending on your needs.

All LEDs are configurable via the Grid Editor - adjust individual brightness, assign custom colors, or add pulsing animations to clearly differentiate controls, especially in low-light setups

Use cases include:

- Triggering samples or one-shots in a DAW or standalone sampler

- Launching clips and scenes in software like Ableton Live

- Controlling transport functions (play, stop, record, etc.)

- Finger drumming or live pad performance

- Switching tools or layers in visual/VJ software

Sending macros or shortcuts as a HID controller for creative applications beyond music (e.g., video editing, graphic design)
