With today’s multi-purposing work stations, where desk space is at a premium, having a fully featured panel that is compact, fully featured and stylish enough to match its surroundings is a must. But, you’d expect that having a compact design means having to compromise ergonomics, features and control size. With the Element range, there is no compromise!

Despite their small desk foot print, each Element offers full size controls which are ergonomically laid out, and best of all, there’s lots of them!

Intuitive

When it comes to having lots of controls, one of the problems can be "just what does each control do?" This isn't the case with Element; every programmable control is clearly labelled, so if the function of the control changes, so does its display label – no more having to refer back to reference notes or on screen help. When Element panels are used with Tangent's Hub service* you can even customise the layout of the controls, making the panels even more intuitive. 

*This requires the host application to support the Tangent Hub API.

Function and style 

 Apart from the size, the first thing you will notice about Element is the stylish, ultra slim design. Quality comes in the form of a solid aluminium, precision laser cut case. But it doesn’t end there; all the internal components have been carefully chosen for reliability. All rotary controls and trackerballs have optical pickups, which means they are long-life and high precision. 
The buttons are ultra-reliable with a positive tactile response. The displays are crisp, high-contrast, high-resolution, easy to read, white OLEDs. When put side by side the panels magnetically lock together, keeping the layout neatly aligned.
 

Cost effective

You would have thought that all this comes with a high price tag - not so with Element! Each Element is competitively priced, and because it’s modular in design you can pick and choose which components you need, targeting your funds where they’re needed most. And if your budget allows it, you can even add more of the same panel type to build your ultimate control surface.

Strong support

Many of our software partners have released versions of their application which support the Element panels. These include:

Assimilate SCRATCH ( v6.1 or later) Requires Tangent Hub*
Autodesk Lustre & Flame Premium ( 2013)
DaVinci Resolve ( v8.2 or later) Requires Tangent Hub* (if Kb is purchased then Bt is also required)
Colorfront On-Set Dailies
SGO Mistika ( v6.5 or later) Requires Tangent Hub*
YoYotta YoYo ( v3.1 or later) Requires Tangent Hub*
*Download the Tangent Hub from our support page

Work is also underway for several other applications to incorporate support. These include:

Apple Color
Cintel FLOW & COLORFLOW
DFT FLEXXITY
Marquise OCEAN, RAIN & MIST
Pixel Farm PF Clean
If you intend to purchase only certain panels from the set, or if you intend you purchase more than one of any panel, then you should check that your software supports this option.
