Gemini launches MAS-1 Ableton Live Controller

Gemini MAS-1 has a built-in stand allowing it to be tilted towards the user in multiple positions creating ideal viewing angle

Gemini has introduced the MAS-1 controller, the company’s first Midi controller that’s targeted towards users of clip-based performance software like Ableton Live.

The MAS-1 allows users who are new to Live to maintain the feel of traditional DJing as it combines the traditional feel of a 4 channel DJ mixer with control elements for devices and effects contained in Ableton Live. It also offers an expanded BPM section to allow for smoother mixing into external sources. The onboard 4 channel audio interface is loud and warm and the hardware interface itself is designed to work well in dark environments with high contrast highlights and backlit buttons. The MAS-1 has a built-in stand allowing it to be tilted towards the user in multiple positions to create an ideal viewing angle.

Ableton Clip and Scene Control

Clip and Scene control is accomplished via a small array of RGB buttons and knobs or an external controller can be easily added. Mixing is accomplished via 100mm faders for the smoothest possible response. Each mixer channel has 3 sends for hands-on effects flexibility.

Features

The MAS-1 controller provides unique performance stand angles towards the user for better visibility. It has built-in low latency high-performance 4 channel audio interface with balanced outputs and 4 channel mixer section with full EQ and 100mm channel faders. Its 45mm crossfader enables fast and DJ-style transitions and has full clip control with scene and clip launching and RGB illumination. The color-coded knobs allow easy identification of each function and its adjustable device control section allows for control of individual components.
