More than software, a control platform.
Zonea is a multi-touch custom controller. Design your own layout with faders, knobs, buttons, encoders, XY pads, VU meters, video monitors, and more. Perform with a controller built exactly for your workflow. No hardware limits. No fixed layouts. Skin it any way you want and connect it to any software that supports MIDI and other protocols. Available now for Windows, with macOS and Linux support coming soon.
From live stages to studios and experimental setups, Zonea adapts to your workflow and scales with your needs. Stable, fast, and built for demanding environments where reliability matters.
Cross-platform future.
MS Windows today, macOS and Linux in development. Zonea is evolving into a unified control platform designed to run everywhere you need it.
Built to perform. Yours to design
Instant launch, glass-smooth touch, every tap lands instantly. Drive your whole rig from multiple touchscreens at once, each running its own instance, and build whatever you want across up to 144 fully customizable pages.
Sends MIDI and hotkeys, with OSC coming July 2026, and shines on 120 fps+ touch displays with a high touch-polling rate, while still running flawlessly on standard 60 fps touchscreens.
A floating editor you can drag to any monitor keeps your canvas always within reach, lay out, color, and fine-tune every control in real time, right where it’s most comfortable to work. Mix and match buttons, sliders, pads, encoders and knobs to build and control exactly what you need.
See what you control
Zonea’s unique External UI feature lets you capture any vital region of an application, your DJ software, DAW, or any other tool, and pin it live onto your surface, making it part of your controller template. Resize it, stack it, and place it anywhere on your controller in real time, with zero latency and near-zero CPU and GPU usage.
Need access to the application underneath? Punch transparent holes, circular or rectangular, directly through your surface to see and interact with the software below. Your multi-touch controls and your software, together on the same screen.
Never get lost
Tooltips live everywhere in Zonea, just hover over anything in the editor with your mouse, objects, tools, functions, settings, and it instantly tells you what it does and how to use it. No manuals to dig through, no guesswork, no dead ends.
Learn as you build, move faster, and master your surface from day one, with clear, helpful guidance across the entire editor.
