Boxing
Problem: instruments have boxing of cheap materials, that degrades over time. Plastic becomes unclean able and sticky. Handles and lamps are not standard, and therefore easily replaceable.
Solution: box of this device is made from aluminium, that's going to last a lifetime.
Customisation
Problem: devices that are ordered online, have limited color presets. It's hard to get a really unique device.
Solution: 6Knob can be coloured in the most precious way - pink, black or stripes, you name it I make it with car paint and stencil.
Sensitivity
Problem: fader sensitivity is not configurable.
Solution: each of the 6 knobs can send have a value 0 to 127 (Midi format). Given that, pressing on a knot switches change mode to 20, 10, 3 or 1 for more precision.
Visibility
Problem: visibility of fader position in a dark room is hard to see and not obvious.
Solution: knobs have lights, that show nice green glow in the dark. Now you can see how much value it has.
Saving
Problem: fader changes to default position when turned on or off (if the fader is digital).
Solution: knob controller is saving changes for each knob, midi channel, brightness and sensitivity. Next time it turned on, the settings are loaded and voila.
Fader back propagation
Problem: when value is changed on the DAW side, fader does not get updated with the new value.
Solution: Midi format allows sending back events from the DAW to the controller, so each time the mapped control was changed in Ableton, device knows and changes the light accordingly.
Midi channel
Problem: on most controllers there's no way to change midi channel from the device controls.
Solution: settings allow changing midi channel! So now you can control multiple channels with one device.
USB port
Problem: most of the midi controllers have a Usb Micro, port that requires a special wire.
Solution: 6Knob has a standard USB type C connector.
