Samson Conspiracy - Ultra-portable MIDI control surface with 25 pads, infinite encoders, and XY touchpad

The Samson Conspiracy is an ultra-compact, lightweight USB MIDI control surface designed for music production, live performance, and DJing. It features 25 velocity-sensitive pads with aftertouch and tri-color backlighting for triggering clips , sequencing beats, or playing melody lines without having to rely on the screen.

The assignable XY touchpad offers simultaneous gesture control of two parameters (X/Y axes), ideal for filters, delays , and transitions. Navigation and editing are straightforward thanks to the backlit LCD , a master encoder , and four directional buttons , plus dedicated transport controls (Play/Stop/Record). You can save and recall up to 20 mapping presets in the controller's memory.

Conspiracy is plug-and-play (no drivers required) and powered by USB via its mini-USB connector (cable included), so it fits in any backpack and is ready to use with your favorite DAW or mobile apps via the Apple USB Camera Adapter. Its construction is solid, and the feel of the pads, faders, and encoders encourages you to work without even touching your computer.
