Controls & Features

  • Rotary Encoders (16×) — Infinite rotation with no hard stops.Sends relative MIDI values, enabling seamless jump-free control in any DAW. Supports DAW-to-hardware feedback (bidirectional) when connected via MIDI out.
  • Tactile Keys (2×) — Tactile switch for satisfying actuation. Configurable via software as momentary (press/release) or toggle (on/off). Assign Bank Change, Note, CC, keyboard shortcuts, or media keys.
  • Bank System — Switch between multiple MIDI layouts (banks) on the fly, multiplying your controls without adding hardware.
  • TRS MIDI Out (3.5mm) — Connect directly to hardware synths, drum machines, and audio recorders without a computer. Supports Type A and Type B (switchable).
  • Web Configuration Tool — Remap every control to any MIDI mode: CC, Note, Pitch Bend, Program Change, 14-bit CC, NRPN, SysEx, keyboard shortcuts, or media keys.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ParksTool 16EN2K?

The ParksTool 16EN2K is a compact USB-C MIDI controller featuring 16 programmable rotary encoder dials + 2 tactile buttons. It requires no driver installation and works immediately when plugged into any computer, tablet, or smartphone. Just true plug-and-play functionality.

Which DAWs does the ParksTool controller work with?

It works natively with all major DAWs including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio, Reaper, Pro Tools, GarageBand, and more. No additional plugins or setup are required.

Does it support Mackie Control Protocol (MCP)?

Yes. The ParksTool controller fully supports Mackie Control Protocol (MCP). For example, faders can be assigned as Pitch Bend messages, and encoders as V-Pot (relative) to control DAW mixing surfaces. However, these are freely reassignable—you can map a fader as V-Pot or an encoder as Pitch Bend if you prefer. Bank change keys allow multi-channel control. Presets for MCP are available in the Web Configuration Tool.

How do I customize the MIDI mapping?

Configuration is completely browser-based with zero software installation required. Just use the free ParksTool Web Configuration Tool at config.parkstool.com (Chrome or Edge). Changes are saved directly to the device memory instantly.

What is a rotary encoder, and why use one?

A rotary encoder rotates infinitely with no hard stops. It sends relative MIDI values (increment or decrement), which prevents value jumps when switching parameters. It supports bidirectional DAW feedback — when the DAW changes a parameter, the encoder position updates accordingly.

Do I need to install a driver or any software?

Absolutely not. It is a class-compliant USB MIDI device, meaning no drivers are needed. Even the configuration is done through a web browser, ensuring your system stays clean without installing extra wrapper software or background services.

Compatibility

Works with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio, Reaper, Pro Tools, GarageBand, Studio One, Bitwig Studio, and any USB MIDI-compatible software. Operating systems: Windows 10+, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS.
