Beijing 26: GMXE YOLO - MPE Modular Controller

Sean from GMXE Instruments told us about YOLO, a new modular MPE controller system built around a desktop control unit and interchangeable modules.

YOLO uses capacitive multi-touch control for more than eight fingers, with movement available across multiple directions but no pressure sensing. The desktop unit works with different module types, including CV output modules for banana or Eurorack connections, plus a synth voice module with its own display. The voice uses its own algorithm and includes effects, with FX1 and FX2 offering choices such as delay and reverb. Routing can be changed from the unit.

A sequencer module records sequences, and the controller can work with modular hardware via CV or with software via MPE MIDI, including Ableton Live. A pin-out system connects the modules, and a later cable setup is planned for connecting up to five different modules.

YOLO is expected around December, with worldwide sales planned. The main unit is expected to cost around $700, with modules roughly between $100 and $150.
