EC4 is a universal controller for all kinds of MIDI controllable hard- and software.
The all-rounder has 16 gridless push-encoders, 7 function buttons and a large OLED-display.
Encoders are switchable to 16 groups that allow controlling a total of 256 control parameters per setup. The display shows the current values of all controls or editable encoder/group/setup names.
Various kinds of MIDI commands are possible, like program change, pitch bend, aftertouch, NRPN, and control change in relative and absolute mode with different acceleration amounts. All these properties are easily and efficiently programmable on the device, allowing personalized customisation for each separate control.
The encoders can work as high resolution 14bit controllers too (NRPN, control change or pitch bend). This makes them suitable for sensitive parameters like resonating filter cutoffs, etc.
Use the internal 16 setups to save your individual settings. Backup and restore of all settings by SysEx dumps are possible too.
---------
The factory settings are perfect to control music and video software products out of the box.
Thus, any additional device programming isn’t necessary for many applications.
---------
The little box is also a great extension for your Ableton Live setup. There you can control all the continuous parameters like track volumes, rack macros, send amounts, and track pannings. A special control surface script for Ableton Live, including all necessary mappings, is enclosed in the package.
---------
Working with this amazing power box will prove to you that it is a trustworthy,
reliable, and invaluable asset to your productions...
