The Origin of Pottar

It all started with a simple question: What if?

What if we could create custom MIDI controllers dedicated to each and every specific use case or individual? A controller just for your favorite VST plugins, for tweaking your in-ear mix on stage, for extending your modular synth, for controlling your lighting rig, or just building one simply because you can.

This question became our driving force. A pursuit to redefine what MIDI controllers could be.

Why "Pottar"?

The name comes from the French slug word "potar", which means potentiometer: the heart of any MIDI controller.

To give it a unique identity, we replaced the "O" in "Pottar" with a visual representation of a potentiometer knob from a top-down view.

This approach reflects our focus on blending functionality, creativity, and design in everything we do.
