The Korena take
Hands-on control for a DAW, plug-ins, and MIDI hardware, with eight long-throw faders for level moves and 24 endless encoders for parameters such as pan, sends, or effects. The OLED display and RGB encoder indicators keep parameter feedback visible while you work. Sixteen assignable buttons and dedicated play, stop, and record controls reduce mouse and keyboard dependence. MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru also let it take a central role in a software-and-hardware setup.
