MIDI controller

Review: Remember when controllers were simple? The software didn't do much, and controllers didn't have to. Anyone is making instruments that can do a lot, but sometimes you just need to control a mixdown, latch onto some plugins, or setup some sliders and knobs to always do just one thing.

The Livid Alias 8 delivers the quick and dirty control you need in a durable, compact package with high-quality controls. Perfect as a portable mixer control, the Alias 8 is designed to satisfy the essential needs of every studio or a live rig. Eight "channel strips" of knobs, faders, and buttons, and a full-size master fader easily adapt to traditional mixing. The dual-function encoder makes it easy to change the MIDI channel (up to 15 channels), instantly extending its reach to control more of your software, while always keeping track of any LED feedback on the other channels. The encoder can also be used as a MIDI control for flipping through tracks or adjusting your cue volume - just push the encoder down to change its function.

The Alias 8 doesn't stop there at stretching out your studio. With 2 x expansion jacks for Livid's XPC line of controllers, you can add up to 16 more analog controls. Grab an XPC and instantly hook up something simple like more pots or faders for your sends and returns. If you really want to shake things up, there's XPCs with something exotic, like accelerometers or joysticks. With our DIY line of parts and boards, you can get creative with the hardware and add something you built yourself with one of our Omni boards.

With such a large number of controls available, the Alias 8 is a perfect match for a quick set-up with your software's MIDI learn function to quickly access the tweaks and freqs in your music, exactly the way you want. The Alias 8 keeps it simple and straightforward so you can adapt it to your workflow, instead of trying to figure out how it works. The special settings channel offers some essential configuration options that can be set with simple MIDI CC's, so if you have something more complex in mind, you can configure the Alias 8 with something as obvious as a MIDI track.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Livid controller without controls that feel great, RGB backlit buttons, and a stylish and strong aluminum case. As Livid's slimmest controller ever (the body is under 1" [2.5 cm] tall) the Alias 8 fits nicely in your laptop bag. Using an all-new extruded aluminum build, the sturdy construction makes for a solid controller that can stand up to the abuses of the road but look great in the studio. With a footprint smaller than a sheet of paper, the Alias 8 won't take up a lot of room on your desk, but remains comfortable to use so you can be confident in your control.

USB MIDI controller with 32 pressure-sensitive pads, 9 touch sliders, 8 buttons and 8 momentary buttons

Review: Introducing the Base: a new foundation for all your creative productions. Combining the technology of drum machines and touch screens, the Base delivers a sleek new pressure-sensitive surface that doubles up the MPC's fabled 16 pads and opens up your hands to freely mix. With 32 pressure-sensitive pads, 9 touch sliders, 8 touch-sensitive buttons, and 8 momentary buttons there's plenty of controls to play and control your set.

Illuminated throughout with RGB lights and a simple character display, the Base provides plenty of novel ways to give you feedback for playing drums, synths, loops, step sequencing, changing presets, and even navigating your set. Customize all the settings and internal presets using the Base Editor web application to best fit your workflow with your favorite DAW, VST, plugin, or application.

The touch faders on the Base offer a lot more than your traditional analog fader. The LED feedback keeps you updated with the current value, and can adapt when you dynamically reassign the faders to your software. But these faders can also deliver a note and velocity when you touch them, potentially acting as a switch for instantly engaging effects, or playing a sound when you touch the fader. And because you can access any value at any time, you can instantly jump to new values as well as make smooth, continuous changes.

When Livid Instruments set out to make their first pressure-sensitive controller, Livid wanted to give musicians more than just a way to make a drum louder. Pressure is the original modulator, whether it's from breathing through a saxophone or a feathery touch on a violin string.

With 32 pressure sensitive pads, the Base breaks open new possibilities for playing drums and synths, and new capabilities for squeezing new sounds from your existing gear. Set up a bass synth next to the drum pads so you can access more of your production at once. Turn off the notes on some pads, and use the CC values from aftertouch for modulating filters and effects. Setup four mini-kits at fixed velocities to give you the exact sound you need for your production. Because the Base is completely editable, you can reconfigure it for new creative possibilities.

With no moving parts, the Base puts the solid in solid state. An all-aluminum body and extruded aluminum frame makes it extra sturdy and exceptionally sleek. A rubber-coated bezel adds strength and comfort to the faceplate. No sliders to bend, no knobs to catch: at under an inch thick and a face that's probably smaller than your laptop, the Base goes in and out of your bag from studio to show.

With the Base, you can focus on playing and tweaking with just enough controls to fill your hands and just enough options to fill your head. And because it's a Livid controller, Livid will be coming out with new interesting templates, patches, apps and videos that will help you learn new ways of freeing your Base.

No matter what application you are using it for, the Base is totally configurable to suit your needs. Load up the easy-to-use web-based editor in a browser to edit all of the controls on the Base. Choose different fader display modes (walk, fill, EQ, and spread), change the velocity sensitivity of the pads, switch buttons from momentary to toggle, customize the colors, and of course, edit the MIDI output. Save settings to the internal memory banks and instantly recall and display the presets with a press of a button.

Review: Introducing Livid Elements, the completely modular MIDI controller platform. Now you can finally create your own controller layout without any soldering, electronics, or complicated assembly required.

The Elements modules come in many different configurations and layouts so you can rearrange, replace, and mix modules, creating your own MIDI controller with ease. Each module connects to the Elements Brain for easy plug-and-play configuration and setup. The Elements modules are housed in one of Livid's custom eurorack cases for total plug-and-play integration. The standardized, modular format allows for an incredible amount of flexibility and expansion.

The Elements is based around the eurorack format, a popular analog synth standard of modules and enclosure sizes so you can create your own customized setup. The threaded rails of the cases make it easy to connect and configure your controller by simply plugging the module into the Brain and fastening it to the rails. The Elements Configuration Utility lets you configure your layout and edit your MIDI settings. With a growing list of available modules (don't forget: you can create your own Elements, too) Livid have designed this system to grow with you and the community of people making modules for the Elements system. Livid's own DIY Omni boards are also compatible with the Elements system.

Whether you are recording, mixing, performing live, or need a unique setup for your show control, the Elements gives you complete control over your system. The Elements modules provide a large variety of options with hands-on control and interactive feedback. If you're mixing multitrack audio or performing visuals, the Elements empowers you with your very own set of options to suit your needs. Mix and match modules, swap them out for different setups, and even create your own module designs. The Elements gives you the flexibility of a modular system that can grow and change with your needs.

With a USB port, MIDI in and out jacks, and an optional 5V power supply, the Elements is a massively flexible controller solution. Whether performing with Ableton Live, mixing visuals with Cell DNA, DJing with Traktor, or controlling your favorite analog gear, the Elements provides a wide range of control possibilities.

In addition to Livid's own Elements module offerings, they have created a Hardware Development Kit (HDK) for other companies, artists, and designers looking to create and share their own modules. Livid's system allows buttons, rotary potentiometers, fader, pressure sensitive pads, leds, encoders, sensors, and other analog devices to be connected through Livid and third party modules.
