Doepfer Drehbank

soundonsound.com

The Doepfer Drehbank is a knob-packed MIDI controller that impresses with its versatile programmability and unique feature of converting control voltages to MIDI events. Its 64 rotary knobs with dual memory banks offer extensive control options, making it ideal for complex setups like synthesizer programming panels. However, the tightly packed knobs challenge precise adjustments, and the Windows-only editor software limits accessibility. Despite these drawbacks, the Drehbank's ability to creatively interconnect vintage and modern gear is compelling, enhancing its appeal as a powerful tool for MIDI enthusiasts seeking comprehensive control.

This MIDI controller can be spotted 0:12 into this video. At the left portion of the screen, there's a rack with an Eventide DSP4000 on the top position (black knob, white keys/numpad). In the piece that is found under it, there can be spotted 4 horizontal rows of knobs, and "Doepfer" written at the bottom right of the unit. This camera angle still reveals other few letters written on the piece: "[...]oller". All these evidences point to the Doepfer Drehbank MIDI Controller.
