A new Kenton product is on the horizon. Spin Doctor is an entry level MIDI controller, designed not only to appeal to the newcomer but also to anyone wanting to add knobs to their setup. The on-board editing facilities are less comprehensive than those of the Kenton Control Freaks, but Spin Doctor is fully-programmable using the software editor or with a Control Freak. The unit is also compatible with the wide range of Control Freak profiles available from Kenton's website, including those which incorporate SysEx data. This means that Spin Doctor is capable of in-depth control of hardware modules as well as software applications.
