Touted as competition to the APC40, Livid’s Ohm64 looks like something I needed, but wasn’t aware of that until just now. The preview over at Create Digital Music is pretty extensive:
Livid Ohm64:
- Open source editor, partially open source firmware, open source patches to connect to whatever you want
- Custom MIDI assignments, for use with whatever you want
- MIDI for now, but the chipset supports open source solutions for OpenSoundControl (OSC) in the near future – and even DMX (for lighting) is a possibility
- USB and standard MIDI jacks so you can sequence outboard gear
- Bus power
- 64 trigger buttons in a more logical 8×8 array
- “Made in the USA by humans” – with a beautifully-crafted body
- Free Cell DNA video software included
