Faderfox Micromodule LV2

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 you rarely need this function 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
