Livid Instruments has quietly introduced a new MIDI Controller, Code.

Livid hasn’t made an official announcement about Code yet, but with 32 continuous controllers, it should complement matrix-style controllers very nicely. And with MIDI In/Out, Code could be the ultimate expansion box for hardware synths.

Livid Instruments’ Block is one of the best looking MIDI controllers ATM
I totally digg the minimalist style
here is what they say about this beauty

Block is a compact and programmable MIDI control surface designed for interactive audio performance. Built on the same bi-directional and adaptable platform as the Ohm64, Block provides a powerful interface for creating and interacting with sound in a small easy-to-transport body. Sixty four backlight led buttons provide endless possibilities for visual feedback with the instrument by connecting it to Ableton Live, Max/Msp, our open source sounds apps, or any other software that supports MIDI. The open source blockEditor application lets you reprogram any of the controller’s sixty four clip buttons, eight knobs, two faders, and seven function buttons. Block is hand crafted from lightweight wood and aluminum for easy portability.

In celebration of the great response they have had this past year for the Ohm controller with hundreds of users now in over 35 countries, Livid Instruments is giving away an Special Edition Ohm package . This one-of-a-kind Ohm is made of Jelutong wood with a light blue stain and will be the only one of its kind in circulation.

The entire package is worth $930 USD and includes an Ohm, a copy of Union and Cell VJ softwares, a Livid T-Shirt, and shipping.
