TourBox NEO – Customizable Editing Controller, Photo Color Grading Illustration Speed Editor, Intuitive Control Boost Productivity, Programmable Keyboard for Adobe CSP and More, Works with Mac/PC

I’ve tried plenty editing controllers, this is the best!
Please accept my apologies in advance for this long review. I have much to say, and I hope it will help you avoid some of my false starts.I’m a big fan of using hardware interfaces (control surfaces) with creative apps like Photoshop and Premier Pro. Making adjustments while focusing on the screen makes editing more enjoyable and much faster.I’ve used several different devices before this Tourbox. In each case, the time savings justified buying the device after a few hours of use.I eventually re-bought a Tourbox (“re-bought” is a mystery that will be solved if you read to the end) after Logitech abruptly announced ending support for their products. Without the announcement, I probably would have continued to use the Loupedeck, but now I’m grateful for the motivation to change!The Tourbox is, by far, the best control surface I’ve used. The controls are less “fiddley” than my Loupedeck Live or, for that matter any of the devices I’ve used.It’s also more compact than either my old Loupedeck+ or even older Behringer X-Touch Mini Universal USB Controller. It can sit comfortably next to my keyboard rather than taking up half my desk.Installation was truly plug-and-play. With the other devices I’ve used, I had to install plug-ins and connectors with many of the apps I was using. With the Tourbox, either they weren’t needed, or it was done for me. All I know is that I could use it with apps like Lightroom, Photoshop, and Adobe Premier Pro immediately after plugging it in.The Tourbox device is both compact, about 4” x 4-1/4” x 1-1/2” and massive, around 3/4 lbs. It sits firmly on its four silicon fee. That is in sharp contrast to my Loupedeck Live, which would slide around almost on its own.An added benefit is that the button/knob placement allows me to use it one-handed, without taking my eyes off the screen. It comes preconfigured with presets for the apps I frequently use. And, I can change any of the controls easily if I choose. For example, I’ve set the same knob to adjust volume and mute with a press across all apps. I’ve also assigned another knob to allow me to jog through audio/video playback or pause/resume with a press, regardless of what app is currently playing the media.By way of history, I’ve been using control surfaces for media content creation for about 15 years. I started “on the cheap” trying to repurpose multi-button mice by programming keyboard shortcuts myself.I soon realized that for media manipulation, some form of variable control, things like knobs or slicers, was needed. Still trying to save money, I bought a Behringer X-Touch Mini Universal USB Controller. It wasn’t bad, and profiles were already developed for some popular applications.My next “move” was to get something purpose-built. So, in 2019 I bought two devices, a Loupedeck+ and, wait for it…, a Tourbox Neo. I was drawn in by the vast swath of knobs and switches provided by the Loupdeck, so I kept it and returned the Tourbox.The Loupdeck+ worked well for a few years, right up until it didn’t. The software started to fail. Also, what started as a set of impressive, dedicated controls became annoying as applications evolved.Next came the Loupedeck Live. I figured that the digital display would allow the device to keep pace with application changes. However, the downsides were a lack of differentiation between controls; I couldn’t operate the thing by touch, and the tiny knobs were a bit too fiddly.I would like to think that I’ve benefited (matured?) from my years of experience. Now I see the (relatively) few buttons/knobs on the Tourbox as a benefit. Each has a unique shape, and I can run everything without taking my eyes off the screen. They also provide a mechanism where the controls, individually or in combination, can perform hundreds of functions. Finally, there is a well-thought-out on-screen display of current control settings if I need a reference. Over time, that need disappears, and you can remove the display anytime.

Speed and accuracy- even for the novice
I’m a novice in the creative side. Not a student, not new to the job, but it’s a side thing I do in addition to my regular work.I bought this for use with one product: Adobe Premiere Pro.It just works. It works so well, I started using it for Photoshop and Illustrator.I will use the keyboard for a bunch of things, but that’s because I don’t use this every day, so I haven’t committed the button functions to memory. If I did, this would be an invaluable time saver.

Comprei o TourBox Neo como uma alternativa mais barata ao SpeedEditor do Davinci Resolve.Mas estava preocupado se ele seria capaz de cumprir bem essa tarefa. E depois que consegui configurá-lo corretamente, ele não só conseguiu, como superou minhas expectativas!Ele é altamente personalizável através do software TourBox Console, permitindo a configuração de atalhos simples (com 4 opções de atuação) e também a combinação de teclas, mas principalmente possibilitando um ajuste fino (com 3 níveis de intensidade do Scroll, do Knob e do Dial), funcionando muito bem no Davinci Resolve, seja para navegar nas Timelines frame a frame ou um para um movimento mais acelerado, e ele consegue fazer isso de maneira fluida e natural.Ele também é capaz de exibir um HUD em overlay exibindo os atalhos configurados caso seja necessário.O tamanho é compacto, e o design é versátil, e o acabamento é agradável, podendo ser utilizado tanto com a mão esquerda quanto com a direita conforme a preferência.Além disso ele tem a vantagem de poder ser utilizado em diversos cenários não se limitando ao programa A, B ou C, e ainda tem a opção de alternar entre perfis automaticamente.Recomendo utilizar com um apoio de pulso para ficar nivelado e mais confortável para longos períodos de uso.Obs: estou utilizando no Win11 v.24H2 e a versão do TourBox Console é a v5.7.4Pontos Negativos:os cliques não são silenciosos e são um pouco duros, mas nada demais.esse modelo não possui Bluetooth, ficando limitado a utilização com fio.
