Best Midi Controllers for VJs

Browse Midi-Controllers for VJs & Visual Artists

Finding the best midi controller for VJ's and narrowing it down to one or two can be difficult. Each artist has their own playing style. Artists also use different software tools to play live visuals. Having narrowed down a few key elements. LIME ART GROUP prepared the best list of midi controllers for VJS.

Why do you need a midi controller?

There are many reasons to use a midi controller, top amongst them is being able to control. As a VJ an external midi controller is one of the most important pieces of hardware you will own. Midi controllers allow you to control various options at the same time. Giving you the ability to mix content in sync with the DJ. To control speed, clip triggering and opacity at the same time gives great freedom. Without a midi controller for vjing, you are at the mercy of a keyboard and mouse. When playing a live set it's difficult to control all elements without a controller.

What to keep in mind when buying a midi controller for VJing?

3 things are important to keep in mind when buying a midi controller for vj(ing). Buttons - to trigger clips, if that’s your style. Faders - for quick effects and layer opacity. Knobs - for some more effects and controls. Buying a midi controller with piano keys is usually not useful for a visual artist. Big companies don't make midi controllers for VJs :(. Most midi keyboards are being designed for musicians. That's why you need to adapt a controller to your needs. Buying a midi controller with piano keys is usually not useful for a visual artist or vjs. They take up extra space and bulky to carry/set up behind the console. If you want to piano trigger clips, you can set up your keyboard as a midi controller and use them to trigger clips. Keeping this in mind, that we are looking for controllers without piano keys. Plenty of sliders/knobs for effects control and buttons to trigger effects/clips. Let's get down to talking about the best midi controller for VJs.

I built my first MIDI controller - a budget version of the “MIDI Fighter” 🤺 Had lots of fun learning how to make this from scratch and it has inspired me to continue exploring the world of DIY Electronics and music instrument design ✨ … #midicontroller #arduino #arduinoproject #musicinstrument #diyelectronics #electronics #diysynth https://www.instagram.com/p/CUrzIjcF4z_/?utm_medium=tumblr

MIDI has always been tricky for me, but thanks to the Ampero Control from @hotoneaudio, I think it’s finally starting to click. The layout and subsequent phone app are easy to navigate and program, and it opened up even more worlds when used with the marvelous Microcosm from @hologram_electronics!! Head over to YouTube, subscribe and turn on notifications to see this and all of our upcoming pedal adventures. Cheers! . . . . #pedaloftheday #guitarpedals #guitareffects #effectspedals #pedalsandeffects #gearnerds #gearpassion #becausetone #knowyourtone #tonefordays #toneheaven #gearshots #gearphoria #notpedalbored #hotone #hotoneaudio #ampero #midi #midicontroller #hologram #microcosm #saturdayvibes https://www.instagram.com/p/CT9ziDMrq6v/?utm_medium=tumblr

JET - MCX

“The JET MCX is a three button fully editable midi controller designed to be used in conjunction with our user friendly web editor for sending and saving data to your controller.The architecture is based around 8 banks of controls, uniquely identified by a single color changing LED. Each bank has three buttons (A, B, & C) which can be pressed individually or as a 2-button press (AB or BC) and provide the end user a total of 5 unique button combinations per bank . Each button, and 2-button press, also have two unique press actions defined as a short press and a long press. Each press action / preset can send 16 simultaneous MIDI messages each with their own MIDI type on their own individual MIDI channel. We offer 18 different MIDI types to choose from, such as Control Change, Program Change, etc. See our MIDI Glossary for detailed information on each MID type. This breaks down to 16 Messages for each press action, 10 press actions per bank, and 8 banks for a total of 1,280 unique MIDI messages that can be sent from the MCX. The MCX also has one other press action however it does not send midi messages but is used to navigate the 8 different banks. A three button press (ABC) will bank up one bank and a three button hold will fast scroll up through the banks. When you’ve reached the last bank, the MCX will cycle back to the first bank and start the process all over again. We understand that most will not need all 8 banks and would rather not have to cycle through all 8 if fewer are needed. This is why we allow the user to set the number of banks they wish to cycle through within the Global Settings.The MCX is also a USB class compliant MIDI controller that can be powered via the USB buss or with a standard 9V negative tip power supply.Use the MCX to send messages to your favorite DAW, software plugin, Mac or PC. It can even receive CC & PC messages and relay them through the MCX to the 5-pin MIDI output jack. This can be useful to let software such as Ableton Live completely automate your pedal board and be completely in sync with your backing tracks.”

Short and sweet, just like how my gf told me ;)

“Ayo, wyd?” - 11:34 pm EST - Wednesday, September 1

I have no idea how I ran into in Halberd. it was either through an artist called Polearm or if Spotify just suggested me him but I really enjoyed the lil beat tape. I’m calling it a beat tape because the whole album was only 13 minutes long. I’m not complaining about it though, not at all. I love short tapes like these because I’ll add like every track to my playlist. I add these minute-long tracks cause I feel like they just add more spice to my playlist. Like they’re a lil break between the longer tracks. Short and sweet, just to add to flavor. The tracks themselves feel like Halberd is just experimenting on each track. Actually good tape, give it a listen.

Track list:

1. Man and cheese is like,,,,really good dude

2. Call me back

3. Im sad and now im sitting on my bed while sad everyTHING is sad

4. Splice samples !! Haha

5. Asmr type beat

6. Writing a progression on piano only to draw it in midi

7. I AINT HAD ME A JOB SINCE 2001

8. Dilla would probably tell me this beat sux :/

9. Ight…im boutta head out
