OmniNode View project

Wired by design Modular desktop control

Build the controls around the work.

One Main. Twelve purpose-built module types. Arrange them in two dimensions and OmniNode discovers every control, position, rotation and neighbor—without accounts, pairing or batteries.

THE OMNINODE SYSTEM One cable.
A surface that changes.

01 / SYSTEM

Physical controls,
without a fixed shape.

OmniNode is a wired control surface assembled from modules on a shared mechanical grid. Each edge is active, so the system can become a line, corner, T, tree or closed loop instead of another fixed deck.

01

Snap into shape

Place focused controls where emphasis matters and dense banks where speed matters.

02

Map automatically

Main resolves module identity, coordinates, rotation and every physical neighbor.

03

Work natively

Output keyboard, media, mouse, gamepad and high-resolution MIDI from one USB device.

02 / DESIGNED LAYOUTS

Start with the task.
Then shape the surface.

These are deliberate grid layouts, not random piles of controls. Choose a workflow to see how module density, reach and persistent state change the physical composition.

VIDEO EDITING / CONTROL CORNER

Precision where the timeline lives.

Jog and Display anchor the hand position. EncoderBank stays above the primary motion controls while the guarded Toggle holds a persistent editing state.

Why this shape
Wide controls close; persistent state at the outer edge.

03 / MODULE FAMILY

Twelve tools.
Three clear families.

Product renders replace abstract diagrams here: each group shows the real control density, relative footprint and shared industrial language expected from the hardware.

Core OmniNode modules: Main, Button, all-metal aircraft Toggle, Encoder, Slider and Light.
CORE / 01
Focused + foundation

One control can deserve the whole module.

Main is the only USB root. Button, Encoder, Slider and Light keep important actions isolated. Toggle uses a machined metal lever with an aircraft-style flip guard—no toy-like plastic cover.

Dense OmniNode modules: eight-pad Pad, four-control EncoderBank, four-control PotBank and twelve-control Mixer.
DENSE / 02
High control density

More controls without losing the grid.

Pad, EncoderBank and PotBank pack repeated actions into 2×1 footprints. Mixer combines four faders, four pots and four buttons in one coherent 2×2 channel surface.

Specialist OmniNode modules: dual-wheel Jog, screen-and-keys Display and dual-DIN MidiBridge.
SPECIALIST / 03
Motion + context + I/O

Specialized hardware where it earns the space.

Jog provides two high-resolution wheels and eight keys. Display adds local context without putting a screen on every module. MidiBridge brings isolated DIN MIDI into the same topology.

04 / THE TOGGLE

A state you can feel before you look.

The ON–OFF–ON Toggle is intentionally mechanical: stainless lever, brushed aluminum base and a hinged metal safety guard inspired by aircraft panels. On hot-plug, firmware synchronizes its physical position without firing the assigned action.

05 / EDGELINK

Every edge can become a link.

A replaceable side cassette keeps electrical contacts separate from magnetic alignment. The mirrored interface supports any orientation, while firmware assumes no contact is guaranteed to land first.

    Three equal-height pogo contacts alternate with three flat hard-gold pads.

  • 02

    Loads remain off and signals released until a stable handshake and power grant.

  • 03

    Independent TX/RX gives every physical edge its own full-duplex connection.

06 / OMNINODE DESKTOP

Your physical layout, reflected exactly on screen.

Desktop consumes one atomic topology from Main. It shows real coordinates, rotation, neighbors and every element, then keeps bindings attached to the module's local identity through hot-plug and rearrangement.
