MemberHi Nicola, welcome. Sorry you joined the livid world so late in the game. As I understand it, the company is unfortunately defunct. The company seemed to have had some operational difficulties, and then one of the founders who was still running the place (Jay Smith) came down with ALS (Lou Gherig’s disease). Sad story for some absolutely wonderful hardware and (what used to be) top tier service.
Jay himself once fixed an Ohm64 that I bought new in box from some off-the-map dealer a good year or two after they stopped selling them. I remember how surprised they were that there was still an unopened one floating around!! If I recall it had some solder come loose or something.
There is a copy of the editor available here on github that you can download and run offline:

As for information on the CNTRLR, you can access some of the old wiki documentation via the WaybackMachine

Aumhaa has been doing a wonderful job at keeping scripts available for recent versions of Ableton!

I’m on the fence about selling them since they’re awesome controllers, but I’m considering it. As I’m getting them ready for sale, I’m finding that the endless encoders on the white CNTRL:R I have seem to continuously output value when turning them all the way in either direction. Rather than stopping at 0 or 127 as I turn the knob, the midi monitor values will jump between 0 – 1 – 4 – 0 if I continue turning the encoder, and similar on the high side. 127-123-120-125-127. It’s just a bit jumpy / “touchy”, if I move them very slowly they seem to climb through the values normally, but do bounce around the bottom / top if continuing the turn, if that makes sense.
