Founder story · NYC

Built from an intolerance for generic.

useMidi is a founder-led hardware company making programmable physical interfaces for people who produce, perform, and ship creative work — engineer by day, producer by night.

01 // ORIGIN

Physical intuition, digital tools

High-performance acoustic music taught how deeply creation depends on physical intuition. Moving into electronic music and interactive performance made the next gap obvious: the software keeps evolving, while the tools we use to control it stay basic, generic, and trapped behind flat glass.

That work now lives in a NYC workshop — hand-wired builds, laser-cut enclosures, microcontroller firmware, and a parametric design-to-fabrication pipeline aimed at bringing premium tactile hardware to more creators.

Physical intuition is how we create. I’m building useMidi to bring that feel into modern digital tools — premium tactile hardware, shaped by parametric design and digital fabrication, at a scale that works for creators.

02 // POSITION

Craft at platform scale

useMidi sits with design-forward hardware where the object is a statement of engineering taste — micro-engineering, tactile feedback, and workflow that stays out of the way.

Every unit is a programmable platform: class-compliant USB MIDI, browser remapping over SysEx, optional banks, and field firmware updates — zero drivers.

03 // HARDWARE

What ships

Compact, highly configurable controllers for desks and stages — potentiometers, buttons, LED feedback, and a full Web MIDI configuration surface. More SKUs are in batch. Custom maps and modifications are part of the practice, not an afterthought.

Workshop open

Based in New York City. Every controller is assembled, tested, and played before it ships. Local artists and builders passing through — write us. Something is usually on the bench.
