OXI Instruments OXI E16 – Portable Rotary MIDI Controller

OVERVIEW

The OXI Instruments OXI E16 is built for modern producers and performers who demand precision, flexibility, and visual clarity. Its 16 rotary encoders with LED rings provide instant feedback, while the integrated OLED screen keeps your mappings and parameters clearly visible at all times. With 12 fully customisable pages, you can design a workflow tailored to your setup, controlling synths, effects, DAWs, and hardware instruments with ease.

Performance is at the heart of the E16. Capture full parameter states using snapshot functionality and seamlessly morph between them to create evolving transitions and dynamic builds. The ability to map a single encoder to multiple parameters allows for complex modulation and expressive control, while gesture recording lets you capture and replay movements, adding a human feel to your productions and live sets.

Connectivity is equally powerful, with USB, Bluetooth MIDI, dual MIDI outputs, and MIDI input ensuring seamless integration across your entire rig. Combined with the OXI App for configuration, backup, and sharing, the E16 becomes a central command hub that evolves with your creative workflow.
