Ithai Benjamin NEEDLES

Designed by Ithai Benjamin in 2017.

NEEDLES is a 1U MIDI Out Controller to work with any MIDI-to-CV interface or MIDI instrument.
Paired with Mutable Instruments' Yarns it offers a whole set of specific controls eliminating almost entirely the need to menu dive and turning it into a powerful multi-track sequencer that can be edited, overdubbed and manipulated live.
With Yarns it offers more than just basic MIDI control, but a method of sequencing, improvising and editing across multiple tracks.

Features
Some are general to MIDI, most are specific to Yarns, and all can be customized to output any MIDI CC message for any MIDI-to-CV interface or synth
