micromodul LV2 is a pocket-size, custom-made controller of 2nd generation for Ableton Live. Lots of different control elements are integrated into this controller. This combination is the real strength of the LV2. This inexpensive controller unifies track- faders, encoders, buttons and joystick in a very compact form. You can use the two independent programmable button rows ( 2 x 6 buttons) to control various LIVE functions like scene launch, fx control, mute, solo, track control and slot launch. Parameter feedbacks from the application are indicated by LED’s. The four push-encoders (endless pots with switch) are perfect for ‘jump-free’ controlling. Important functions like track select, slot/scene-scroll and slot/scene-launch are fast accessable on the encoders by simple activating the main function. As of Live version 4.1, you can use the LV2 immediately by using different setting files which are shipped with the controller - without the time consuming process of programming each separate control element.
Start the era of modern sequencing.
The LV2 can also be used with other programs. It is suited well for software sequencers due to its architecture/layout. You can not program the LV2 or assign controller numbers or key numbers, but that is a function that is rarely needed with current programs. The device is very compact and easy to transport, and you do not even need any power adaptors, it works with standard and rechargeable batteries.
Improvements to LV1: 2 programmable button rows with 12 LED’s, 4 push-encoders, main function and some better ergonomics
Features
- Special controller for sequencer software (optimized for Ableton Live)
- Setup files for Ableton Live as of version 4.1 are shipped with the controller
- Independent of operating system and computer type (PC or Mac) due to the midi interface (no driver necessary)
- 6 track faders - switchable between 2 fader groups (1-6, 7-12)
- 4 push-encoders for jump-free control of track-dependent and track-independent parameters (total of 144 parameters)
- Main function for fast encoder access to important functions like trackselect, slot/scene-scroll, mastervolume, clip/scene-launch etc.
- Joystick to control track-dependent and track-independent parameters (total of 30 parameters)
- 2 button rows with each 6 buttons and LED’s, programmable independent in 6 keymodes (scene-launch, fx-control, mute, solo etc.)
- Parameter feedback of LIVE button statuses is indicated by LED’s (Mute, FX)
- Fadermute for all controls by holding down the instrument's SHIFT button
- Faderposition view by LED’s if holding down the instrument's SHIFT button
- Play-LED to show the beat speed
- Independent power supply by standard or rechargeable batteries 3 x AA cell, lifetime about 30 to 60 hours
