HAMICOMA presents a modular MIDI controller built from interchangeable faders, switches, rotary controls, buttons, and a central OLED control module.

Why it surfaced

MOMICO treats a MIDI controller as a reconfigurable hardware system rather than a fixed slab: users can arrange modules around their workflow, save configurations to an SD card, and connect through USB or 5-pin DIN MIDI. It is still in development, but the unusually concrete module family and control architecture make this more than a vague hardware concept.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
