How long have you wanted to:
Control your (software) synthesizer without having to use virtual faders,
and having to look at a computer screen and use a mouse?
Use the full capability of your computer’s built-in soundcard?
Have realtime control for synths that have limited or no realtime controls
Could the control possibilities of your master keyboard be improved? Now it’s time to discover
new uses for real time control by using the Doepfer Pocket Control.
The Pocket Control
The Pocket Control (referred to as the pocketC) is a device, that everyone could
use, such as for the computer in the studio or for live use in professional and semi-professional
situations.
What can the pocketC do?
The pocketC can assign each of the 16 control knobs to individual Midi events.
This Midi event controlled can be selected from a list of preset options (giving over 16,000
different event combinations), such as controllers, mono & poly aftertouch, pitch bend, RPN/
NRPN, XG-SysEx, GS/XG controller, program change and even note on/off events. These
events can be from any of the 16 Midi channels, or the master channel (which allows easy
selection of the controlling MIDI channel). The permutation of possibilities is therefore up to
17 (channel options) * 16,000 (event combinations), which is over 250,000 possible
combinations! The system is also ready to take even further SysEx messages and data formats in
future updates.
The low cost of the pocketC allows for applications where multiple pocketC’s can be used
chained together.
