: Firstly, we loved Cmpsr. How long had this controller been in the works, and what prompted you to develop it?
Si Tew: “The initial idea was really in 2018. It was all about recognising the need. I was working with individuals who had reduced access. A lot of instruments that were out there just weren’t really working for them. That was the initial spark. Owain and I have known each other for a long, long time. He was working in a slightly different side of things, but noticing similar issues. We thought we should bring a design to market that met those needs and allows people to get creating. Things really started picking up around 2020, that’s when we incorporated as a business and started to move things forward. By that point we’d already built a prototype and had been out working with people making music with it.”
As Si was saying, I came into this from a slightly more commercial aspect. I Whether it’s keyboard- or plugin-focused.”
