CME have announced version 1.8 firmware for their Bitstream 3X MIDI Controller.
CME say that, as the world' s first 3 axis MIDI controller, Bitstream 3X is a completely new direction in MIDI controllers and is perfect for controlling Virtual Instrument, DAWs, and even other MIDI hardware. This compact desktop unit is the only 3 axis (X,Y and Z) controller on the market and includes 35 knobs, 8 sliders, 16 buttons, a joystick, a cross-fader and an infrared controller. The joystick controls the X and Y axis while the infrared beam controls the Z axis.
The Bitstream 3x is fully programmable and includes more than 13,000 presets for popular samplers, synthesizers, and software including Propellerheads Reason and Rebirth, Steinberg Cubase, Ableton Live, Native Instruments Reaktor, Traktor, Kontakt, and Absynth, Fruity Loops and more. An 8 track motion sampler, transport functions, and a large LCD display round out this versatile unit.

  • Hook mode can now be enabled/disabled independently
  • Able to generate SMPTE sync (24, 25, 30 dropped and 30 Frames per second)
  • Arppegiator now features 64 scenes, independent from the 100 existing Snapshot scenes
