Mixdown Magazine in Australia recently reviewed the Ohm64 and we are delighted to share it with you here. If you are located in Australia check out our good friends at Kosmic Sounds who stock our controllers. Here is an excerpt.

“I have to say, I do see a lot of new gear turning up all the time, and I am often impressed with quite a bit of it, but it is rare for me to open the packaging of a new piece of kit and literally be jumping with excitement. This does happen though, and did when I got my hands on Livid Instruments OHM64 MIDI controller. Now, there are loads of MIDI controllers on the market, especially now with programs such as Ableton Live having electronic musicians craving more hands on control, but none that I have gotten my hands onto quite offered the flexibility of the OHM64. And none look anywhere near as good either.”

Recently we made a custom ohm64 faceplate for DJ/Producer amplive. As an Ohm64 user he wanted his logo on the controller reversed so the audience could see it when he performed. We upgraded our Metalbot CNC machine and added a spindle that lets us cut faster and make smaller curves.

We cut this new faceplate out of anodized aluminum and are waiting to get Amp’s unit back to fit it with this new one. Here is amplive playing actual keys, maybe we will see button playing in the next video?

We are very excited about our new Block NE, the Nova Musik Edition of our block controller. This version of the block controller has a glossy black wood body, black anodized aluminum faceplate, and green LED’s. The Livid brand on the side has been replaced with the Nova Musik star an it is available exclusively from Nova Musik.

Mike Chenetz, editor of Max4Live.info who recently did a very thorough review of the Ohm64 has been making some great Max for Live tutorials and videos. His latest gives us a Max for Live tutorial using the clip grid on the Ohm64.
