CNTRL:R was designed over a one and a half year period with electronic musician Richie Hawtin and the artists on m_nus records. The controller is designed to provide a controller sized small enough to fit into a backpack, but large enough for hands-on control. The instrument can be adapted to many different software and styles. The “sequencer” section of the controller can be set to create sequences and grooves, or control cue points and triggers. The central 4×4 keypad can launch clips, play drums, and control functions. The fader and knobs are ideal for channel strip controls, device control, EQ, and effects. The CNTRL:R is totally programmable and adaptable to any software that supports MIDI.
