Pocket Control Silver Edition


You operate your soundcard, your software  synthesizer, your midi expander already with your computer screen or display with a mouse or 'tiny' buttons. Real controllers are much better to operate than virtual ones. Nearly all sound cards, expanders or software synthesizers allow the external control of their parameters via MIDI controllers. So far the price of control boxes - indispensable for each user -  stood in flagrant contradiction to the price of the software or sound card.

128 different configurations immediately available, for each application is something 'on board'.

  • compact MIDI control box with 16 rotary controls (rotary potentiometers)
  • dimensions: about 17x7x4 cm
  • 128 presets with useful assignement of MIDI events to the 16 knobs (e.g. current software synthesizer, XG controller, 16 x volume on the 16 MIDI channels and so on)
  • the following Midi messages can be generated by Pocket Control: any controller, after touch, pitch bend, common RPN resp. NRPN controller, as well as most of the current GS and XG controllers resp. XG SysEx messages (free programmable SysEx messages are not possible, this feature allow e.g. Drehbank or Regelwerk)
  • the MIDI channel can be set for each control separately (of course all knobs may transmit on the same channel too, any combinations of MIDI message and MIDI channel are possible)
  • preset selection via DIP switch at the rear panel
  • snapshot button or via incoming MIDI program change messages
  • MIDI In, MIDI Out
  • merge feature (incoming MIDI data are merged to the MIDI data generated by the Pocket Control)
  • the editor program (PC version) enables the user to program his own 128 presets. This means that you can define the function of each of the 16 controllers in your own 128 presets. You no longer depend on the factory presets ! The program can be downloaded free of charge - e.g. to test the programming possibilities before you purchase the Pocket Control
  • If you are not sure if the Pocket Control is the right choice for your application you may download the The english manual as pdf-file
