for those who like to tinker, like to assemble their own gear, and love dance music. the aurora 224 gives you 24 knobs, eight buttons and three faders in a kit that is mounted on light-catching plexiglass. designed for ableton live users, the layout lets you map the effects and samples needed for your late night dance party. looks like a lot of fun.
createdigitalmusic.com has a great writeup and review:
The Aurora really is something special; you can tell that it’s not the typical store-bought controller and people do respond very well to it. Also, while there are control surfaces with cross-faders like Novation’s adorable Nocturn, I can’t think of anything (amazingly) with this particular, balanced layout of effects controls and two-channel mixing. And it really is open source: the enclosure specs, schematics, firmware, and computer software are all available for editing.
