Tinami MD-1 is a innovative MIDI controller built on demand, is fully customizable, hackable on the hardware side and now available on Kickstarter!
There are countless MIDI controllers on the market. From small boutique developers, to big companies, small & large formats, many knobs or slider, keyboard etc. However, users often do not find the perfect MIDI controller that is tailored to their workflows. The young company Tinami tries to change the market of MIDI controllers and offers a product that is built on demand as the customer like it. Easy say: one controller features 16 components and users can choose the amount of knobs, buttons or faders you really need (16 in total).
With an additional MIDI editor software MD-1 Blueprint, it possible configure each message send by the components (Note number, control change, Sysex and NRPN messages). Also cool is the fact that you can save different device presets in 16 different memory slots. Another cool feature is that the controller is hackable on the hardware side so it allow to create complete controller with it, like a LEGO-style MIDI controller. The new Tinami MD-1 is in my opinion a clever new music tech product which makes it easy for many musicians to choose the perfect MIDI controller.
Overview
The MD-1 is the first stylish, affordable and high quality custom MIDI controller on the market. After studying the relationship of musicians, producers and live performers with their MIDI controllers for several months we have concluded that the next step on the MIDI devices is customization. The special thing about the MD-1 is that it will be custom-made for each user upon ordering it – so it will contain the features needed instead of unnecessary extras which are never used.
Giving all of our users the chance to build their own custom MIDI controller gives us infinite possibilities of configurations and layouts. Unlike how complex it sounds, we wanted to make it really simple for you to design your controller.
