Description

Edit description

Discover the Doepfer Pocket Control, a compact and versatile MIDI controller designed for both studio and live environments. This unit is perfect for musicians who need a portable yet powerful tool for managing their digital audio workstations and MIDI instruments. Equipped with 16 rotary encoders, the Pocket Control provides hands-on control over your DAW parameters, making it an ideal choice for producers and performers alike.

The Pocket Control stands out with its simplicity and functionality, offering a user-friendly experience without compromising on flexibility. Each knob sends MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) messages, allowing you to map and manipulate a wide range of software and hardware settings with ease. Whether you're adjusting synth parameters or controlling effects, this compact controller ensures precision and responsiveness.

Its compact design makes it easy to integrate into any setup, whether you're on stage or in the studio. The robust build ensures durability, while the plug-and-play operation means you'll spend less time configuring and more time creating. The Doepfer Pocket Control is USB-powered, eliminating the need for additional power supplies and minimizing cable clutter.

Good massive oldschool midi controller

Great tool. Got it now over 20 years. On stage, studio or outside in the sun. Solid as rock - different programs. Till today i use it over my Traveler MK3 Midi Port to control stuff in Ableton.
