chassis Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Looks like a nifty piece of kit. I'm not really in the market for one right now but there seems to be plenty of knobs. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/machinewerks/cs-x51-usb-midi-control-surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phasers Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Looks good, a bit expensive thoughI wish someone would make a midi device with enough space to put masking tape under the knobs so it's possible to make a clear note what each knob is assigned to.

Chris Toffer Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Looks well overpriced ($464 USD) for what it offers. Alternatively you could get the UC-33e for about $100 second hand and it has more faders. Or you could get the APC40 for $200 new (if u wait for amazon sale) which has more faders and push buttons (but less knobs) Or u could get the bitstream 3x which afx used on his remote orchestra (endorsement™) which has more faders and is of similar build quality, plus has tons of other features (that u probably don't need) for $400 USD. Or u could wait for Livid Instruments' DS1 (releasing Sep 2014) which to me looks like a much better alternative for $479 USD (bout the same price as the CS-X51). This offers more sliders, knobs, and looks of high build quality. (Still overpriced I reckon tho) Personally I'd go with the UC-33e as it offers a decent amount of faders + knobs and is cheap as chups. If ur an ableton user and like launching clips in session mode then I'd go for the APC40. If i had more cash i'd get Livid's DS1. The CS-X51 would be at the bottom of my list.

awepittance Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 that is quite expensive for what it's capable of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plastic Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Only six faders seems kind of... not that useful. Pads are kinda nice, but there are tons of other smaller things for that. I think I'll stick to my UC-33e that I've been using for 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th555 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 imagine a rotary knob that could snap to any number of steps with the power of electromagnets. does this exist? Not sure if it exists but I think it could be done with a stepper motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
