Hot Hand® MIDI-EXP Controller

The Hot Hand MIDI-EXP controller takes all of the expressive potential of the Hot Hand sensor and enables use with third-party effects, hardware, and software by converting the Hot Hand signals directly to MIDI and a flexible expression output. With the MIDI-EXP, users can select from multiple MIDI message types, including continuous controllers, pitch wheel, aftertouch, note on/off message, etc. Other controls fine tune the sensor signals to create the desired response with controls like depth, smoothing, inversion and axis select. A useful Ramp Trigger mode lets the user set a threshold and when that threshold is crossed by the sensor signal, it will generate a ramp in the output.

The Hot Hand MIDI-EXP Controller is available to U.S. customers exclusively through the Source Audio Online Store. If you are a non-U.S. customer and would like to purchase the MIDI-EXP controller, please contact us.
