What do we think about LoupeDeck devices?

I’m wondering whether these LoupeDeck devices would work well with Cantabile:

LoupeDeck Web Site

Initial thoughts:

  • Nice combination of controls and display/LEDs
  • The main center area buttons are touch screen buttons - not physical buttons
  • The knobs are described as analog dials, but they’re actually rotary encoders with push button
  • There’s an official SDK for writing plugins to integrate with their desktop app
  • There’s an unofficial SDK for direct access. With this, the center touch screen area isn’t limited to the button arrangement shown - display anything there and implement any touch like gestures.
  • Expensive (current pricing on Amazon AU: LoupeDeck Live almost aud$500 compared to StreamDeck+ aud$300) (but see update below)

There are other versions too… one smaller/cheaper (but perhaps hard to get), others much more expensive.

TL;DR: would you consider one of these if there was an integration with Cantabile?


Update: I just realized the LoupeDeck Live and the Razor Stream Controller are essentially the same device and the unofficial SDK works with both. The Razor is about the same price as the StreamDeck+.
