More knobs than you can shake a stick at. Add hands-on control to pretty much any MIDI-equipped hardware or software. Upgraded version of the classic PC44, featuring a whopping 72 rotary pots and 12 buttons.
PC12 is a universal controller for all kinds of MIDI controllable hardware and software.
You can combine two or more NEW MODULE devices to create a large system. The connections are on the right side to allow a back to back placing of two or more devices. Connect two NEW MODULES by a special extension port.
Furthermore, there are 4 MIDI-ports and one USB-port with various routing possibilities.
It is packed in a metal case with the same dimensions like the famous ELEKTRON devices so it's a great extension for these devices. But you can use the pot controller also with your DAW like a classical 12-track-mixer.
The device has 72 standard pots and 12 buttons in a 12-track-layout, various kinds of MIDI commands like control change, note on / off, pitchbend, aftertouch and program change are possible. You can program every MIDI command for every separate control on the device very fast and easily.
Of course you can assign the pots and keys to any of these commands by learning incoming MIDI commands, which is the same procedure you know from your software / DAW. The pots work with standard resolution of 7 bit to have full compatibility to any software and hardware instrument, effect and DAW. Use the internal 30 setups to save your individual settings. Backup and restore of all settings by sysex dumps is possible too.
The factory settings are perfect to control music and video software products out of the box if they are freely assignable. So any additional device programming isn't necessary for many applications.
Some special setups are preconfigured for use with ELEKTRON RYTM and ABLETON LIVE.
