Angelo's smart controller was the perfect choice for my Australia Council funded Media Arts project. Using his MiniCV controller in 2009 as the driving force of my new musical instrument "The Shimmer", the controller had all the options I needed for the job, at an affordable price. Angelo was prompt with supplying me the device, customising the software to my needs, and supplied excellent support when I was setting it up for the first time. I thoroughly recommend his Smart Controller devices for their reliability and versatility.
One day I decided that my band needed super bright, glowing, Midi-controlled LED light tables for our live show. When I started the project, I was pretty sure that I wanted to use control voltages... but I had a lot of questions. Through my internet research I came across Angelo, and he definitely sent me in the right direction. He saved me countless headaches, and sold me a MiniCV which was preprogrammed to my specifications. It worked so well that I immediately bought another one and built a second table. They've been such a huge hit at our shows that I now have plans to build all sorts of Midi driven stage gadgetry. All in all, the tables turned out far better than I thought they would and it was in large part due to Angelo's advice and products.
I have worked with Angelo Fraietta on several art projects using specifically developed and custom - built electronics. He has been a a pleasure to work with and always responds quickly to emails which I think is highly important when developing new projects with tight deadlines. The technology developed by Angelo has been fail safe and I have had no crashes or blow outs. Highly recommended!
Angelo's CV to MIDI controller is fantastic. I originally bought one to assist me with creating a digital instrument interface. The setup process was simple, the accuracy was great, and the price was excellent. Angelo also offered a lot of personal advice which was invaluable. The device was used as part of my granular synthesis instrument "Poseidon", which was a component of my masters research "Creation of a Real-Time Granular Synthesis Instrument for Live Performance". After I successfully finished my masters research I bought another CV to MIDI controller from Angelo because I found it it to be a really versatile interface which can be used in a plethora of circumstances and installations.

As a media artist, I have used Angelo Fraietta's Dumb Controller for many years now. It has been an integral part of my interactive artworks Lucid Touch and Krankin'. I also use it in live performances as VJ Sustenance. It is the interface between my physical controller, the v-tar and my software. I have travelled extensive with the Dumb Controller and I have always found it stable and robust. Over the years Angelo has provided immediate support and advice when needed. The Dumb Controller is excellent for media art experimentation.
