ONYX Button Hardware Request

Good afternoon!

Are there any plans for a button-based controller, similar to the NX-P, only with banks of programmable buttons? Assignable to cue(stacks), presets, etc.

Additionally, is this a common use case others have run into as well?

I do a lot of on-the-fly busking, and back in the days of the MA Dot2, the Button-wing was a lifesaver. I’d love to see something like that for ONYX, and (at the surface at least) seems relatively trivial to implement.

Edit: The 10 programmable buttons on the NX-P are exactly what I’m referring to. A controller that consisted of five to ten banks of those ten buttons would be perfect for my use case.

Hi @alexmanng1

Welcome to the forum.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. This has been noted.

It is worth mentioning that if you connect a Streamdeck to a device running Bitfocus Companion, this allows you to create customisable buttons to trigger ONYX.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi,

I use the ICON platform b+ for that. Connected to ShowCockpit to Onyx.

Platform B+ - Icon Pro Audio

That works quit Okish, but does the trick for me. To have something similiar directly from Obsidian would be a preferred solution, yes. As the platform B+ is disconntinued as well afaik.

Regards

Thank you for the replies, @flippatspace and @Edward! I’ll look into both options.

I’ve had OK-ish luck using a Launchpad as well, but it is a bit clunky through ShowCockpit. Regarding Bitfocus, how does that interface with Onyx? Is it through OSC?

Yes - the ONYX module in Companion uses OSC.
