Woodmans Immaculate Maple Syrup Studio have updates WoodTroller, an MPE multi touch bar keyboard and MIDI controller, available for $11.99.
What’s new in version 2.0:
Added Midi V2 support
- All note-on/off messages now have 16 bits velocity (7 bits in midi v1)
- All controller (CC), pitch, aftertouch, pressure message values now have 32 bits.
- Added v2 button in main panel to enable v2 or revert to midi v1.
- Added v2 group dropdown (1..16) : each group has 16 v1 channels.
- Pitch shifting can use the new v2 “Per Note Pitch” message (MPE in v1).
- CC74 can use the new v2 RPN message (MPE in v1).
Additional new features:
- Pressure and CC74 can now be set/changed after note-on (is held) with a second touch in the same note lane. A small circle will indicate the value set.
- Velocity zone can be made larger (Advanced Settings new slider).
- CC74 zone can now send any CC controller messages (Advanced setting).
- Pressure zone can now send “ChannelPressure” or “Aftertouch” midi messages.
- Midi send can now be done to published destination endpoints or from the WoodTroller midi source endpoint or from both.
The MPE touch bar supports multiple notes with individual pitch shift (horizontal movement), pressure and cc74 (vertical movement).
WoodTroller has 8 general purpose rotary controls:
- Each can send 6 different CC messages to different channels.
- Each of the 6 command values can be mapped differently to the full rotary range.
- So 1 rotary can control several parameters on the same or on different instruments.
- Rotary names, colour, unit, range can all be user set.
WoodTroller also has 8 general purpose on-off or push buttons:
- Each button can send up to 8 different midi commands (CC, PC, NoteOn, …) to different channels.
- This allows to quickly switch multiple midi instruments or devices to another program or to other settings.
- Each midi command’s data value can be auto incremented/decremented.
- All button names, colour, type can be user set.
All settings can be stored in presets in iCloud which yield automatic preset syncing between several WoodTrollers on different devices.
WoodTroller is available as stand-alone app and as AUv3 plugin for iOS (iPad) and MacOS users.
