The new Tangent Ripple control surface is the first affordable model we have seen so far at $350. Tangent designed there Ripple to be basic and for the occasional color grader like me. Big thanks to Martin Luan Håndlykken for getting these pictures at IBC. As you can see the size is really nice and wont take up much space on your desk. When you don’t need it it should be easy to move it out of the way.
Ripple provides the essential 3 trackerballs that speed up primary grading. It’s supported by Tangent Mapper software which means you can customize what the controls do with any software that supports the Mapper. Ripple is already compatible with any grading software that uses the Tangent Hub (Resolve, Nucoda, SCRATCH, SpeedGrade etc). You can also use the Ripple with the other panels from the Element range, including the element-Vs tablet app, so you can easily expand its functionality.
Features:
- 3 trackerballs with dials for masters.
- High resolution optical pick-ups for the balls and dials.
- Independent reset buttons for the balls and dials.
- Programmable A and B buttons.
- USB powered with integral cable.
- Light-weight compact size.
The bummer is it wont be available until early next year but when this baby ships I’m going to get one for sure!
