For the purposes of this article Tangent were kind enough to send me both the new Ripple and the Element Kb. This gave me a chance to check out the relative build quality of each device. Here are a few thoughts on a quick comparison, which obviously should be between the Element-Tk and the Ripple, but the standard of the entire Element suite will be the same. For more detailed information on the Ripple , check out this previous post.
Not to mention the nicely crafted LED screen which updates with a 9-character label for each knobs function, depending on your custom mapping. Here the Ripple, which has no screen to guide you through your mappings, makes use of a software Heads Up Display HUD , which functions very effectively.
The Element Kb is portable in itself but travelling with a full suite of these controllers would require a decent case like these from Pelican that a lot of DITs and travelling colorists favour.
I happen to have the Pelican iM Storm Carry-on case , which is excellent, and as the name suggests suitable to carry on to a plane. You can also buy custom inserts crafted for the full Element suite and the Pelican case.
In using both of these devices however, a lot of care has gone into the feel of the movement of each interface. The rings above each track ball on the Ripple feel very smooth and have a similar resistance to the Element. The trackballs themselves, which are about the size of a pool ball, also respond in a precise and accurate manner.
You are touching them all the time, so getting the feel of these things right, will dramatically change how you experience the product. As odd as it sounds, the way it feels to turn a knob can be a joy or a disappointment. The next thing you need to do is download the free Tangent Hub, which you can download under the Application Support tab here. This results in the following applications being installed. It also makes the Tangent Mapper a little cluttered to look at. The Tangent Mapper ships with a bunch of default mappings for Premiere Pro , and a few other apps.
In this image you can see the default controls that the Element-Kb will use when the Lumetri-Basic controls are active. Meaning whichever part of the NLE that is active. The second layer of tabs are called Banks. You can also have two layers on each bank, per mode. Kb Knob. Bt Button. Intuitive When it comes to having lots of controls, one of the problems can be "just what does each control do?
Function and style Apart from the size, the first thing you will notice about Element is the stylish, ultra slim design.
Cost effective You would have thought that all this comes with a high price tag - not so with Element!
