nOb
nOb is a very precise and versatile knob controller, which complements my other DAW controllers (i.e., SSL UC1, AVID S1, Steinberg CC121, Softube Console 1 Fader, KORG nanoKontrol, MP Midi Controller, and the Stream Deck XL. In particular, for now, I consider the nOb better suitable to control DAW plugins than the MP Midi Controller, which still interrupts my workflow too much.
nOb takes control of the mouse mouse cursor and, consequently, is able to control any parameter you would normally adjust with your mouse. You simply have to point your mouse cursor to the parameter you want to control and use nOb’s big knob to fine-tune it to taste. Any draggable interface element found in modern media production software can be controlled, including sliders, scrollbars, knobs or even draggable value indicators.
nOb features a big, solid, aluminium knob with adjustable rotation resistance and a very precise industrial grade encoder. All the electronics are housed inside a durable, hand crafted, hardwood mahogany enclosure, that can be unscrewed and taken apart for those of you who would love to modify and hack their devices 🙂 . Its knob and toggle switches are touch sensitive allowing for some really neat productivity features, like e.g. double tapping the big knob to undo the last adjustment, touching the right toggle switch to temporarily flip the operation mode and many more! nOb also delivers its precise real-time data through an open serial protocol interface, in order to allow developers to use it as they please.
