modular controller... Image attached...
hope it's real and doesn't go the way of the GREX..?

 

http://www.faderfox.de also make modular controllers, and I've heard only good things about them. They look excellent.

 

The faderfox controllers do have a good rep however, they're not "modular" in the same way as the mawzer controller (which looks like a pretty great idea if it isn't obscenely expensive).

 

yeah I agree gmint...

The mawzer thing makes NI look a bit pony with them banging on about "Hercules Drives a TRAKTOR"...

If NI want to feature a Traktor controller the least they should do is talk about faderfox [IMHO]

NI bashing again, oops... Anyway being able to build your own controller layout would really open up performance styles and technique...

 

Alright, I took a closer look at the Mawzer controller. That thing really is sick looking.

 

mawzer is a little big tho.faderfox looks good,nice and small,portable.

 

That Mawser thing certainly looks impressive. ....but I'd need to see them do it in a smaller flightcase/configuration before I'd touch it.

As it is at the moment, it looks too big to lug about with you.

 

nah big is good [for me] need a control surface you can really get into without a microscope...

-after lugging x2 record bags even a 10ft mawzer would seem light-

 

Never mind Mawser, .....check this baby out!!!

yeah the Ableton lot have been banging on about it....
price is too steep for me although I heard it had the soundcard, etc built in...?

 

Yeah, I'd take the Xone3D over the Mawser any day. Too bad I have the money for neither...

 

Mawser....price

http://createdigitalmusic.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=453&Itemid=44

...reckon 'bout $800 for base unit then $30 - $180 for modules (such as an X-Y touchpad controller).

Sheesh! Haven't they heard of pile-em-high-sell-em-cheap?

If the price is right, these units WILL be in every computer musicians setup. Or maybe I'll wait for Behringer to copy the design and sell em for 1/2 the price )

Email received from Mawser

"Thank you for your interest in the MAWZER modular midi controller.

We were very happy to meet you in messe frankfurt last week.
A lot of suggestions were made by you visitors (different box size, new modules ...) and we are very attentive to them. For example, smaller box size is under study (a 16 slots or even a tiny 8 slots).

Due to high demand, we are currently adding massive information on the website.
Come back to visit www.mawzer.com in a few days ..... :
technical info on box and modules
more pictures
pricing information
configuration examples for softwares

Hoping the MAWZER will help you in your creations"

P.S. Yay, my old login worx )

Do I wear a clown-suit with rubber nose & big red shoes when working with it? It looks like a piece of ****.

It's a Messe all right... a big one.

 

1500.00 Euros.... whoa?

 

when i first saw te mawzer i was really stoked. i am using ableton a lot now and have not found that right controller, however the a&h 3-d looks to be the real answer if we could only get some more info on it

 

I doesnt, the green panels on the sides are actually removable faceplates, which will be custumized to suit various softwares.
They have demonstrated it with abelton.
