Intech Studio BU16

Very useful as a compact midi controller. I like the ingenious design enabling interlocking of modules in different configurations. Seems robust and well made. There are four pages of buttons enabling 64 control mappings in all. Thankfully there is a copy and paste function in the controller editor so you don’t have to enter every parameter every time when programming it. The programming options are practically endless. I only needed midi CC numbers. The online guidance is very comprehensive but would be easer to follow if there were more worked examples of basic midi applications. Some of the options (e.g. button behaviour such as toggle, latch etc.) are buried in drop down menus and aren’t immediately apparent. Once set up though it’s really good and is compact enough to sit on top of my Roland keyboard.
