Description
The unit has two smooth endless rotary encoder knobs with push buttons, that can control multiple channels by switching the channel set. I try to make products that don’t require a user manual, but anyway:
–
Plug in
via USB A
– Turn
to adjust volume or gain
– Quick press
to toggle channel screen and activate trim control for the selected channel
– Double press
to navigate channels
The enclosure is made from carbon infused PETG. USB cable can point either sideways or down. Comes with a clip holder and a good quality USB cable
- Length: 80 mm
- Width: 21 mm
- Height: 45 mm
Weight: 70 grams
FAQ:
What’s new compared to the previous 2 knob controllers?
– There’s a display with level indicators!
– Multiple different functions, channel sets, master fader, bus gains, custom
midi commands.
– Completely different design
– Master fader, configurable bus or output fader in the 8 series
– USB cable exit can point either sideways or down
– Slightly larger knobs
– Threaded brass M3 inserts for various mounting methods
Was there anything wrong with the previous 2 knob controllers?
Not at all! Designing and coding these controllers is my hobby, and making all
these functions with a meaningful display menu controllable with just two
encoders was a fun challenge.
Will this work on my Mixpre, 6-series, 7-series, Zoom recorder, Tascam,
etc.?
No – these fader units are only compatible with Sound Devices 8 series. You
can probably use it for something with a DAW
What’s the build quality like?
It’s important for me to disclaim what kind of operation this is. I am
designing and building these units during my nerd time in my basement office
when I’m not working as a freelance sound recordist. The enclosure and knobs
are 3D printed, which means the product will not look and feel like the very
expensive sound equipment we’re all used to.
The electronics design revolves around a custom embedded microcontroller on a PCB with expensive ALPS encoders which are non detent / smooth to the feel. The enclosure is printed on expertly fine-tuned 3D printers using high quality carbon infused PETG which is strong, UV/heat resistant and pretty good looking for a 3D print.
Can I use multiple USB controllers at a time?
Yes – you can use a USB hub to plug in several controllers, but if you have a
special use case, please consult me simon@iddqd.dk and I will help to see if
it’s possible.
How do I set up 14 channel ISO recording on a 833?
You can use the 833 return inputs as sources for Bus 1 and Bus 2. Those two
busses are recordable, but they cannot contribute to the mix. With this
controller you have a quick hands-on method of controlling bus gains and
soloing those channels.
Can I change the channel configuration myself?
Yes! Press and hold the right knob when booting up, you can now select a mixer
model.
