Hey all, Two weeks ago I shipped the last pre-ordered controllers. After that I was sick for a week but now that I'm better, I will now focus on improvements in the software and then do an inventory on how many more controllers I am able to make and sell. I know there still are a lot of people eager to get their hands on one but I cannot make any promises yet. I got some more amazing feedback from customers again: "best controller ever.. seriously since livid died i was looking and looking.. thanks a lot for doing this...

Hey all, Here an update on the progress of the assembly. It's going well, over 60% is done and shipped and this week the next 20 - 30% will be done. The last 10 - 20% of the orders might take longer since not all PCBs turned out to work 100% and either need rework or replacement. Apart from that, from next week on I will have less time per week to work on the controllers. But we're almost there. Feedback I've already received some great feedback from people. A few quotes: "This thing is really awesome. The knobs just...

Hi everyone, This week was the week I've been waiting for for such a long time: the start of assembly! I managed to assemble about 10 this week, with about 2.5 days of actual assembly.

However, even if I manage to triple or even quadruple the output, this is still not as fast as I hoped. In order to solve this, I cut the work into manageable pieces and will have some...

Hi everyone, As promised, another update near the end of August. As planned, the panels are almost done! According to the factory, the first 25 are ready so with this speed, I'm hopeful that they will ship next week (although they couldn't give me an exact date yet). I already took the liberty to book the CNC machine for two days next week. I will use the machine to drill in the extra holes so that the potentiometers will properly fit. After that I will start assembling all controllers. Note that this can still take some time and you will...

Hi there, This is the weekly update for week 26. As you may have noticed, last week I did not write an update because I was away for a family event. From now on I will send the updates less frequently as to not spam your mailbox too much and to give myself more time to work on the controllers. I'm currently working hard on the Ableton MIDI remote scripts. The original plan was to release them after the controllers were sent but since I'm still waiting for the panels, I am now finishing that first. The script now works for...
