Controllers
Our controllers are completely modular. Mix and match as you see fit. Change and expand at any time. Start with a keyboard, add a Box cabinet, then add a wheel controller or maybe a whammy bar. The possibilities are endless.

Controller Bundles
Pre-configured controller bundles provide a simple way to get the controller that fits your needs. Or, we can build a custom controller system with the controller components on this page in virtually any configuration you can envision.
Keyboard Controllers
Modular Keyboard controllers with quality keybeds, metal frames and beautiful walnut sides. Add Wheels, Expression Blocks, Whammy Bars and other controllers using Box-style cabinets to create the perfect custom controller system. Add a Q174 MIDI Interface module to produce Pitch voltages and Gate signals.
- EP Wrote: Just a quick note of thanks on the 61-key keyboard, it's terrific, easily the nicest controller I've ever used. The different programmable velocity curve patterns are extremely nice.
Box Cabinets
Box-style cabinets are low-profile for holding modules and controllers. Mount to your keyboard controller or use stand-alone, even on the floor as a foot switch. Available in 1, 2 and 4 spaces.
Ribbon Controller
Ribbon controller with 20" position and pressure sensors. Mount to a keyboard or use a strap and play like a guitar.
Wheel Controller
Wheel Controllers provide voltages to change any synthesizer parameter in a 1-space module that can be mounted anywhere in your system. Use for pitch-bending, modulation control, sequencer triggering and more. Many unique features including configurable spring-return, center-detent and programmable wheel color.
Expression Block Controller
The Expression Block produces a changing voltage as you press the lighted acrylic block. The voltage can be used to change any synthesizer parameter such as amplitude, filter frequency or modulation amount.
Whammy Bar Controller
The Whammy Bar controller produces a voltage as you push the Fender Guitar-style bar up and down. The voltage can be used for pitch-bending or to change any synthesizer parameter such as filter frequency or oscillator pitch.
TouchPad Controller
The TouchPad controller produces a voltage as you press on the force-sensing pad. The voltage can be used to change any synthesizer parameter.
Ribbon Controller
The Ribbon controller produces a voltage based on where you press along the sensor. The voltage can be used for pitch control or to change filter settings or any other parameter.
Knob and Pressure Controller
The Knob and Pressure Controller provides unique expression options with a rotating knob and a pressure sensor. Both rotation and pressure provide variable output voltages that can be used to change pitch, filter settings or any other parameter. User-selectable spring return and detent. End-of-travel switches provide Gate signals to trigger sequencers and envelope generators.
Dual-Axis Whammy Bar Controller
The Dual-Axis Whammy Bar controller produces a voltage as you move the Fender Guitar-style bar up and down, and another voltage as you push and pull. These voltages can be used for pitch-bending or to change any synthesizer parameter.
ThumbStick Controller
The 2-axis ThumbStick Controller produces two independent voltages that can be used to control any synthesizer parameter. A Switch Gate signal is produced when the ThumbStick is pressed down.
Joystick Controller
The 2-axis Joystick Controller produces 2 independent voltages that can be used to control any synthesizer parameter. An Auto Gate signal is produced for each axis.
PC Joystick Interface
The PC Joystick Interface provides connection to a user-supplied analog PC Joystick. Two variable voltages and 2 Switch Gates are produced along with the an Auto Gate signal for each joystick axis.
Guitar Switch Controller
The Guitar Switch controller produces two On/Off Gate signals that can be used to trigger sequencers, change filter parameters, etc. These rugged switches are designed to be operated by foot.
Foot Pedal Interface
The Foot Pedal interface provides connection for an external variable pedal and a switch pedal. Voltages and Gates are produced to control synthesizer parameters or trigger sequencers.
Variable Foot Pedal
Provides variable control of parameters. Control filter sweep, tremolo depth and virtually any other voltage control-able parameter. Use in conjunction with the Q142 Pedal Interface Module or the Q181FJ Foot Pedal Interface.
Foot Switch
Provides on/off control of parameters in the synthesizer system. Use to trigger envelopes and sequences, for controlling portamento or for simply activating additional effects while playing. Use in conjunction with the Q142 Pedal Interface Module or the Q181FJ Foot Pedal Interface.
