Re: Sasha's Maven Controller going into Mass Production

is it anything more than a midi controller?

no. its just that he designed it. i dont know why evolution didnt copy it almost exactly and sell that??? not too much different from the uc33.


imo its terrible news... its just going to encourage more ableton use

^^^yepper.

That and I don't doubt if the version for mass consumption doesn't have ALL the bells and whistles that Sasha's does.

Do you have a link to an "official announcement" from Sasha or the company that produces it?

What is the source of this information?

Nsamadi got it from the words of the man himself.

umm, nope, thats all it is.. i think it does a bit more.. but who knows, i think it just is made to look more like a mixer with a cross fader.. but regardless of how fischer price it looks, it is pretty cool.. bet the price tag will be ridiculous.

Its M-Audio that has helped out with this. Also it is not just a midi controller it is an audio interface, you will see near the headphone Jack you have Adat / spdif and out 1/2 which i presume is analogue. There is a headphone amp incorporated and although it looks fisher price it is obviously robust enough to have lasted for 2 - 3 years of touring the world. It’s quite a simple controller and you probably will find out that it has a few different m-audio devices inside a homemade box. I think that they will be able to charge a small fortune for this although the DJ market has died down a bit so it’s a hit and miss kind of situation.

Just my thoughts

The info was told to someone at this Vangraud LA gig...on Oct 06.

Sasha actually wanted the info to be leaked out.

Another quote:

"Just a note that Sasha told me to get the hype going for the Maven, so everyone feel free to post the pics in any forum that you think might be interested in it. Also be sure to hotlink the images from my site, don't re-upload them!"

Pics of the event.

The Maven shown is actually the second incarnation. It's been slightly modified since he initially used it 2-3 years ago.

Re: Sasha's Maven Controller going into Mass Production

I hope this is true

I just wonder if it cost the same or less then the Xone 3D

Re: Sasha's Maven Controller going into Mass Production

i wouldn't buy it unless it incorporated a flip-up monitor screen that's attached to it.

Re: Sasha's Maven Controller going into Mass Production

It's all tactical. He releases this, so everyone buys it, thereby emulating what he can do. A year later, he drops ableton and moves onto the next thing - and hence he has "reinvented" himself yet again.

wha'ts the next thing? vinyl?

Re: Sasha's Maven Controller going into Mass Production

I only want to get Sasha's controller if it beatmatches the stuff for me, picks the tracks for me, samples them for me, (re)mixes them for me...actually, I think I'll just get a stereo system.
