The Tweaker is fully USB powered and USB Class Compliant in both Mac OS and Windows, and does not require any MIDI drivers for either platform. An additional set MIDI I/O ports are provided to connect other devices.

The control surface is also ideal for other MIDI compatible applicaions such as video or lighting control.

Traktor Pro 2
The Traktor Pro 2 mapping assigns all of Traktor's essential functions for DJing so you can start mixing records in minutes using just a Tweaker and your laptop. Most of the Tweaker's control elements have multiple mapping layers, which makes it extremely versatile. The mixer channels provide controls for playback, mixing, looping, track searching, EQing, filtering, and more. The velocity pads control individual effects with pressure sensitivity and aftertouch which allows for expressive control over the effects. The grid saves, triggers, and deletes hot cues and loops, which, together with the looping and moving controls assigned to the encders, makes the Tweaker very handy for track perparation. Tweaker mappings are included in Traktor's Setup Wizard since v2.6.0.

Ableton Live
A Remote Script is included to enable Live to natively support the Tweaker. Tweaker has two session views for independent control and navigation of clips and the mixer. The button grid enables launching and stopping clips, and features a session shift button for an additional layer of control. The drum pads are mapped to the drum rack and can be transposed to access up to 64 drum rack pads. The Mixer controls Volume, EQ and Devices, Solo, Arm Recording, Crossfader A/B Assign, and the Crossfader.

Serato Scratch Live
Add Tweaker to your Serato rig for the ultimate control. The navigation section is used to browse the crates and library, load tracks, and create instant doubles. The button grid is used to trigger hot cues and loops. The velocity pads control the SP6 sampler and the encoders control the DJFX unit. The two vertical faders are used as pitch faders for internal mode. Combined with instant doubles, it enables you to mix a set with just one turntable, a mixer, and a Tweaker.

Press Quotes

"Either through the presets or your own ingenuity, the Tweaker could control your entire Live or DJ set on its own or make a killer secondary controller. It’s built well, very responsive and has full MIDI programming ability with some cool creative options."

"If you enjoy modality and like being able to take control of your hardware for your own workflow, this is perfect. If you want a DJ controller for Ableton that works out of the box with more control than a Launchpad but smaller (and better organized) than an APC40, this is perfect. If you want to learn more about MIDI and how to control controllers, this is perfect."

"Built like a brick, daringly original, and a pleasure to play on thanks to the LED feedback and quality of controls, the Electrix Tweaker is a pleasing little controller, and not like anything else out there... And while the Tweaker is a Midi programmer’s dream come true, it nonetheless has lots to offer to the plug-and-play brigade too."
