Faderfox micromodul LX2

In stock

micromodul LX2 is a custom-made, pocket-size controller of 2nd generation for use with Ableton Live. It was designed as a supplement to our LV2. While the LV2 offers all faders, encoders and a joystick, the LX2 offers a lot of key functions for controlling tracks, clips, scenes, track select and fx. All this is achieved with 56 buttons and 49 LED’s. Four button groups are independently programmable in different modes. All track control functions are immediately accessible for 6 or 12 tracks. Another strength of the LX2 is the possibility to start over 36 slots/scenes (up to 108 are even possible by using the keyset function). Last but not least all buttons of the first 3 groups have LED’s to show their statuses. Parameter feedbacks from the application are indicated by these 36 LED’s. The fourth group is a mini keyboard (one octave), a simple possibility to trigger any instrument you want. Each button group has three switchable keysets. As of Live version 4.1, you can use the LX2 immediately by using different setting files which are shipped with the controller – without the time consuming process of programming each separate control element.

Modern sequencing – finally enough switches to rock your live-set!

The LX2 can also be used with other programs. It is suited well for software sequencers, VST instruments or any other midi gear. This controller can be used everywhere where you need a compact instrument to send a lot of switch commands via midi. You can program the LX2 (cc/note numbers in groups of 12 ascending numbers, keymodes like 1 of 12 and toggle) and store it in 12 setups. The device is very compact and easy to transport, and you do not even need any power adaptors since it works with standard and rechargeable batteries. Improvements to LX1: 36 LED’s to show the button statuses, 4 independent keygroups with 3 keysets, freely assignable in different keymodes, mini-keyboard, 12 setup memories
