The OXI E16 is a high-performance desktop controller designed for those who find mouse-clicking a barrier to creativity. Featuring 16 ultra-smooth, high-resolution encoders, the E16 turns your soft-synths or modular parameters into physical knobs. While it is the perfect companion for the OXI One—allowing for immediate access to deeper parameters—it shines as a standalone MIDI/CV interface for any modern studio.
Precision Control, Reimagined.
The OXI Instruments E16 is more than just a MIDI controller; it’s a tactile extension of your creative flow. Whether you’re deep-diving into CC mappings on your OXI One or looking for a premium, compact interface for your DAW and hardware synths, the E16 delivers professional-grade precision in a rugged, studio-ready chassis.
16 Encoders. Infinite Possibilities.
At the heart of the E16 are 16 high-resolution encoders equipped with LED rings for instant visual feedback. Gone are the days of "parameter jumps"—the E16 provides smooth, continuous control over your soft synths, VSTs, and hardware parameters.
The Ultimate OXI One Companion
Designed to integrate seamlessly with the OXI One sequencer, the E16 expands your hands-on control via the OXI Split or direct MIDI connection. Control multiple tracks, gates, and modulations simultaneously without ever menu-diving.

Core Features:
High-Res OLED Display: Clearly see parameter names and values in real-time.
16 LED-Ring Encoders: Tactile feedback that matches your software or hardware state.
Plug & Play Connectivity: USB-C powered with dedicated MIDI DIN In/Out for vintage and modern gear.
Multi-Template Support: Includes pre-mapped templates for Ableton Live, Bitwig, and major hardware synths.
Ultra-Compact Build: Premium aluminum enclosure that fits into any mobile production bag.
