Modular Meeting – Side-Tip – Touchpad Mercurial STC1000

on the Modular Meeting ACA had a nice Controller with 2D Pad, the Mercurial STC1

It’s basically a 2D Pad which has subzones to be used as switches or as Pad-in-Pad..

Dieses Teil hatte ACA auf dem Modular Meeting und es ist nicht übel, wie man sieht kann das Pad nochmal unterteilt werden, die Software scheint ein Schwachpunkt zu sein (siehe Shots unten) und nur für PCs, was nicht wirklich cool ist.. Aber der Controller selber ist cool. Dort ist auch die Rede von „Mac coming soon“..

the only odd thing is: It is PC only, there is no Mac Software to set it up, but it sends and receives Midi.. So once Progged you can use it on any Gear and one can set it up ith a Mac using Bootcamp and XP.. Well and it must be shipped from the USA, so it is not cheap for us.. the site says „Mac coming soon“, so maybe this isn’t bad..
