How to paste to multiple k***s and choose only the macros and parameters you actually want.

No more setting things one by one.
This is the kind of thing that sounds small but completely changes how fast you can build and iterate in a session.

Which feature should we cover next? Let us know.

We dusted off a RAVE-O-LUTION 309 by Quasimidi and gave it a modern workflow boost.

The 309 is a true late-90s groovebox classic. Punchy drums, gritty synth engine, hands-on sequencer, and a very recognisable sound in the rave era.

But… its original interface can be limited.

So instead of treating it as a museum piece, we plugged in the N32B Slim and fully re-animated it.

Now every performance k**b, filter sweep, FX parameter and modulation is mapped and ready to control with high-resolution MIDI.
Everything becomes fast, playable, and expressive again.

Old hardware with modern control is honestly one of the most fun combinations.

Which classic synth or groovebox should we feature next?
Tell us in the comments.

Big thanks to Isak from MOE for letting us borrow it

Choosing between our controllers?
Here’s a quick guide to find your match.

N32B Slim
Our flagship controller. Built with a compact metal enclosure, it’s durable enough for travel yet solid on your desk. With 32 k***s and up to four macros per k**b, it opens up new creative possibilities and supports all MIDI messages. It gives you central control across hybrid setups and classic synths, with full SysEx support for maximum flexibility.

S32
Now in its final development stage, the S32 takes everything great about the Slim and takes it to the next level. You still get 32 k***s and full SysEx support, but now with a powerful MIDI Effects Engine. Packed with tools like Arpeggiator, Scale, Delay, Chance, Harmonizer, and Dispatcher. And for modular fans, the optional CV16 expander brings seamless CV integration.

The choice is simple:

The Slim is perfect if you want something straightforward, portable, and performance-ready.

The S32 is for creators who want deeper control and advanced tools for shaping their sound.

The S32 is now open for reservation!

This is the controller we’ve been working on for a long time - and it’s finally coming together.

32 k***s, built-in MIDI effects, macros, easy mapping, and a clear OLED display.

We also made it ready for future expansions. The first one, CV16 - is a MIDI-to-CV module we’re building for anyone working with modular or semi-modular gear. It’ll come out a bit after the S32.

If you’ve been following the process, now’s the time to join the early group.
We’re offering a small reservation to save your spot, and a HUGE discount when it launches.

Can’t wait to see what you all do with it.

Hey music makers!

We’ve been hard at work, and today, we’re thrilled to introduce the N32B Slim, our latest MIDI controller built to give you more power and precision than ever before. Now available for pre-order, this sleek 1.9 cm-thin device packs a punch in a compact package, whether you’re working with modern DAWs or classic synths.

One of the most exciting updates is full SysEx support, making the Slim a must-have for vintage synth enthusiasts. Easily tweak and control your classic gear in ways that were previously impossible. Combined with 4 macros per k**b, it allows you to assign any type of MIDI message - including high-resolution types like NRPN, RPN, and CC - on all macros simultaneously. This means unparalleled control, right at your fingertips.

Under the hood, the Slim features a faster CPU and more RAM, ensuring seamless performance even with complex configurations. Plus, it comes with 10 presets onboard, letting you store and quickly switch between setups without breaking your creative flow.

And let’s not forget the design - sturdy, portable, and now thinner than ever at just 1.9 cm, it’s perfect for tight studio spaces or taking on the road. With USB-C connectivity for reliable, fast connections, this controller is ready to become the heart of your MIDI workflow.

The N32B Slim is all about making your creative process as smooth and flexible as possible. Pre-order yours now and be among the first to experience what it can do!
