Akai Midimix reported as working as of 1.0.10 see here

#120

Novation Remote 25 Audio / X-Station:
Doesn't work (not class-compliant).

Novation MiniNova:
Doesn't work. Appears not to be class-compliant, which is disappointing for a relatively new device.

M-Audio Trigger Finger (first version, not the 'Pro'):
Works, but doesn't send out MIDI note-off events, which might limit usefulness.

Miditech i2Control-25 works

#122

A few items I have tested and confirmed working (in no particular order):

Korg nanoKontrol2
Soulsby Synthesizers miniAtmegatron , this means..
Arduino MIDI/MOCO for LUFA (Arduni Uno MIDI hack)
Keith McMillen QuNeo
AKAI LPK25
iCON Cube Mi-3 (USB-Midi interface)
Waldorf Streichfett
Arturia Beatstep Pro (notable ground loop in my config, even with the supplied groundloop adaptor, did not try Axo DC power)
Novation LaunchpadPro
Elektron Analog Four
Dave Smith Intruments Tetra
Waldorf Blofeld Keyboard
Arturia MicroBrute

#125

Livid Code Version 1 using version 1.276 editor software seems to work fine, Axoloti powers it fine and it just works :slight_smile:

#126

arduino micro with usb midi (arcore) also works!

#127

Quick tests with the Midi Fighter Twister work perfectly!

#128

Likewise with the Livid Brain Jr. control board -- quick tests reveal no issues!

#129

Just tested the Denon DN-SC2000 DJ MIDI controller and it partly works.

The pitch fader doesn't work because it's 14bit MIDI.
Buttons also don't seem to work.
Jog wheel and rotary encoders work fine.

#133

a quick 'reminder' / plea - this topic is only for reporting usb controllers that work with axoloti.
(we use it as a way to keep a list of known working controllers... so keeping it 'clean' is useful to us, plus its a massive thread for users to search :slight_smile: )

if have questions about a controller working or not, or how to make it work, or any other questions about controllers with axoloti please raise a separate topic.

also, axoloti only supports USB midi class compliant devices, so no need to report non-compliant devices here, we know they wont work , to make them work would be a separate topic as a 'feature request'

#134

Would it be useful to have a spreadsheet / table of working devices, with functions listed (number of controls, number of keys, velocity, clock generation, whatever..) for a quick check of suitability to users needs?

#135

I would imagine so. I just think no one wants to put the time in to make it so.

#136

I think this is a good idea, however, Id like to keep thread is about compatibility rather than 'suitability'

your welcome to create a new thread, with a link to a spreadsheet
(I assume you are talking about a google docs spreadsheet, so anyone can update it)

my only comment on the idea is, if a midi controller is usb class compliant, axoloti will support all messages it sends - so in the end the spreadsheet is a comparison of midi controllers (of which there are 'lots' on the market, and keeping up with new ones would be time consuming) rather than something specific to axoloti. but hey, if its something someone in the community wants to do , cool :slight_smile:

#137

Novation Remote 25 LE works great if connected to its DC adaptor or with 6 AA batteries, but not via USB power from Axoloti. To be recognised the novation needs first to be turned ON and then plugged in to the Axoloti via USB or MID DIN cable. Hope this helps!

Great old MIDI keybard, 9 rotary knobs, and support up to 16 program changes.

In November I finished assembling the Soundforce SFC-101 and works perfectly with axoloti

#139

I've received my Axoloti Monday :smiley: and I bought a Keith McMillen K-Board (a cut down version of the QuNexus) for my "laptop synth" project.

It works like a charm. No technical problem.

I think that it is a nice portable keyboard but i'll customize my patches for it : the velocity sensitivity is quite random, the pitch bend button useless
I found the aftertouch/pressure control really great.
