Livid has introduced the OhmRGB MIDI Controller – a handcrafted, expandable MIDI Controller that features Multi-colored LEDs.

Here’s what Livid has to say about the new OhmRGB controller:

We’ve had a lot of users ask for multiple LEDs for each button and custom LED layouts, so we’re really happy that we can offer not just two colors on each button, but seven, and done so in a way that is flexible, thoughtful, and useful. With seven color choices on each button, there’s a lot of efficiency to be gained in better presentation of information, reducing possible error during a critical live show, and increasing focus in the controller, erasing the barrier between ideas and reality.

We recently introduced the expansion jack on our block controller so users can expand it with additional analog sensors and foot controllers, without having to add another MIDI device to their setup. We’ve added this to the OhmRGB to further encourage experimentation and expansion of digital media controllers, and make sure that our users can fully express themselves and control their shows. With two jacks for off-the-shelf foot controllers, you can make your feet do some work, and stop wasting those valuable extremities for mere standing and dancing around! And with a ribbon cable and a few boards from our Builder series, you can knock out a special module that does that one thing that you REALLY need, and free up the entire controller for playing.

Details below.
