We recently launched our Ohm recycle program. It is a bit unheard of in the music products business to upgrade past units to the latest model’s features. We figured “hey what the heck”. We realize our users appreciate our controllers as not being disposable so we figured they should not be left out of the fun!

After a couple weeks of getting conversion parts fabricated by our shop robots (commanded by humans). We just started receiving Ohm classic controllers and recycling the bodies to accept the new Ohm64 controls. It requires a custom faceplate and that has the outline of the classic faceplate but the inside cutouts of the Ohm64 controls. We also do away with the classic midiboard and back panel board and replace it with our new talk back enabled MidiUSB all in one board.
Here are before and after pics of a super sweet Red ohm Classic owned by user Diego Medina that that we just recycled.
The recycle program is extra rewarding for me. It is like a reunion with my babies after they left the nest. It is nice to spend some time with them and see how they are holding up in the harsh world.
