In late 2025, our friends at @gravityrigs reached out with a dream project: building a central custom controller for @tomora —the new collaboration between Tom Rowlands (The Chemical Brothers) and Aurora.

As long-time fans of both, this felt like a massive responsibility and a total "dream come true" moment for the team. The goal was to build the heart of Tom’s mixing station for their live debut at Coachella 2026. Seeing it in action on that stage left us speechless (and definitely dancing).

In the video, Mat gives you a walkthrough of the unit we built—and yeah, it’s a big one!

🧩 Just like LEGO for grown-up creators.

At Yaeltex, we shape controllers that are reliable and intuitive expressions of individuality.

Our iconic design interface, 'The Factory', is an invitation to create. Thanks to our modular framework, the more bespoke and specific the tool, the closer you get to owning and using exactly what you envision.

@donplok (🇦🇷) is a producer, DJ, and percussionist. With his music, he explores the limits of rhythm and imagination, blending Afro-Latin sounds with various peripheral genres of electronic music, connecting the popular with the experimental, and the ancestral with the futuristic.

He’s currently working on his fourth album and a new live act. For this new act, he designed ”El Atrevido” along with visual artist @clau._.smith + an illustration from @nubeciiiiita, aiming to represent his personality as an artist.

“I sought to recreate the feel of a rotary mixer in order to control stems and have an instrument with which I could have fun and experiment during my live set using effects, filters, sends, and loop manipulation. At the same time, it was designed so that the assignments could remain flexible depending on what the performance experience demands.”

Meet @acidpach 🇫🇷 and his custom "PACH" controller⚡

A relentless live act from the French underground scene, Acidpach bends Acid Techno, Hardtek and Mental Tekno into raw, hypnotic live sessions 👽. His sound pushes hardcore energy through labels like @shzrecords and parties like @dawntodusk_project.

For his bespoke device, he chose a medium-sized case featuring mini faders, mini potentiometers, and various RGB buttons, making the absolute most of every inch of space.

@misterrichter (🇺🇲) is a producer/ writer and a guitarist for bands and artists such as @dijondijon_ and @mumfordandsons, among others.

He designed “B.O.P.”, his custom creation, around the PrimalTap plugin from @soundtoys. We were delighted to see it in action at @coachella 🎛️

Here, Ryan explains how he uses it: “I'm catching audio in primal tap, and then using that as a bed to improvise around. Track 1 is always my guitar, 2-5 are for other audio sources. Depending on the interface I use, I can capture the other band members’ audio and manipulate it in the same way. Kinda like King Tubby, but digital.”

“It's been a game changer for me! Before I was using an APC40, but I needed an extra surface to really do it all. Glad to have it all in one piece now.”

Thanks for sharing your story with us, Ryan!
