About

Livid Instruments was founded in 2004 by Jay Smith, Travis Redding, and Peter Nyboer. They took their passion for building unique instruments for computer music and helped spark a controller revolution. Today Livid Instruments still manufactures their products in Austin, TX “The live music capital of the world”, and employs a team of creative engineers, designers, and musicians with the same sense of innovation and inventiveness that started the company.
