Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Mystrix and a Mystrix Pro?
Mystrix Pro will have velocity-sensitive keypads and RGB underglow; the Standard Mystrix does not.
Everything else will be the same, including software features, wireless capability, material, build quality, etc.
We will not constrain the capability of Mystrix’s software to a more advanced model.
What's the weight and size of Mystrix?
Mystrix has a weight of roughly 800 grams or 1.75lbs
Dimension of Mystrix is 205 * 205 * 12mm or 8.07 * 8.07 * 0.47 inches.

How is the wireless latency?
Here's a demo video show casing the wireless capability. (Tested by our community member, so this isn't a "lab environment" or something like that! Also note lightshow is a very stressful form of midi stream. So if you are just playing note, it will be even better!)
What sort of software support and after sales hardware support can potential customers expect and for how long?
We are committed to supporting Mystrix as long as possible we can!
A lot of our resources are going into community support and will continue so post-launch. We will not be releasing a Matrix 2 anytime soon and axe all supports for Mystrix. We built the Mystrix with all the cutting features to make sure it won't be obsolete anytime soon.
Another commitment we will be making is that we will not constrain the capability of Mystrix’s software to a more advanced model. (All software open sourced, someone will be able to do them anyways).
Mystrix that every user has will always be as capable as the hardware can handle until we can’t support it officially. To put our commitment into perspective, even though the new generation Matrix comes with a brand new Matrix OS that comes with a lot of great software features, we spent a lot of effort to make the very same OS run on the now almost 6-year-old and very limited Matrix Founder Edition without the advanced capability like wireless and velocity sensitive keypads. Even if we will not be able to support it anymore both hardware and software-wise, everything about this project is open-sourced and we welcome the community to step in.
What's the long-term plan to develop for the music creator side for Mystrix?
Who are the main target audience of Mystrix?
Visual performers are still the primary audience because this is an area we know well and have a lot of community support going on.
The secondary targeted audience is the tinkering community, Mystrix is a very complete package as a non-professional & open-sourced project, and we worked hard to promote community development. Tinker community has a lot of room to work with Mystrix. We want to see people creating experimental features on Mystrix using it's very generic design and powerful hardware capability. We want Matrix to be a supercharged and affordable Monome for those people.
The third audience will be professionals who are interested in adding dynamics to their setup. Mystrix gives a lot of freedom and flexibility to a music gear setup with the capability of a customizable control panel and wireless connectivity. We still don’t have many professional features ready for release yet but we love more music creators to help us make the ultimate creative controller.
