Tangent Wave2

The Wave2 offers a comprehensive range of controls on a compact panel for a keen price.

The Wave2 has been designed to offer maximum functionality for the minimum of desk space. This means it's equally at home on a desk or on-set. The panel features crisp, easy to read, ice-white OLED displays to label many of the controls which will be used to operate multiple functions. The trackerballs and knobs both use non-contact, high resolution optical pickups for responsiveness and long life. As all controls are designed to be context-sensitive you'll be able to keep your most needed controls at your fingertips. The Wave2 will increase your productivity, leaving you to get on with what you're best at doing - being creative!

Most of our software partners have released versions of their applications which support the Wave2. The majority of these applications also support the Tangent Mapper which means that you can even customise your control layouts.

If your software doesn't have built-in support for Tangent panels, you may still be able to drive it using keyboard shortcuts and creating your own panel mappings. After installing the Tangent Hub software package (see below), you can open the Tangent Mapper and choose to create a new control map. Here you can add a new application to the list. After selecting your application window on the desktop, a new control map will be created for you that will be available on the control panels whenever you run your software.

In the Mapper, you can then build a set of control maps for your panels using the 'Fake Keypress' option. If your software has a function that can be started with a keyboard shortcut such as 'Shift-G', you can configure a button on your panel to fire this key sequence into your application when the button is pressed. You can also map keypress combinations to the knobs and trackerballs.
