Visual Feedback & Precise Control
See parameter names, values, and button states instantly on the dual 256×64 OLED high-contrast displays.
The 8 push-encoders always stay in sync with your DAW, so your controls are always correctly positioned with no pickup issues. Press to toggle buttons, turn to adjust values.
24 User Presets + 2 Ableton Built-in Modes
24 fully configurable user presets for any MIDI software or hardware.
Plus 2 dedicated modes for Ableton Live :
➞ Global mode for Levels, Pans, Transport and more
➞ Device mode for hands-on Instrument or Effect control with device navigation.
Customize your MIDI Mappings
Name your encoders and buttons, assign any CC or Note on any MIDI channel, per Preset.
The controller’s auto-naming feature learns parameter names from Ableton Live, so your displays always show meaningful labels instead of generic CC numbers.
Enhance your performance with Latch & Revert
Latch ➞ tweak parameters behind the scenes, then apply all changes at once. Perfect for dramatic live transitions.
Revert ➞ create a snapshot, experiment freely with any parameters, then roll back to the original state in one press.
Online Editor
Configure everything from your browser: rename controls, assign CCs, organize presets, and upload your configuration. Works on any platform with a compatible browser.
Future Proof
The code is fully open source and documented, so anyone can bring their own features.
Modular
Connect several param8 units and they work together as one bigger controller: param16, param24, param32… Each unit automatically shows its own set of parameters, so you get more knobs and more parameters under your hands.
An independent project
param8 is made in France, from design to assembly, by a single maker. 🇫🇷
