Intech Studio

Notes: A great solution for highly customisable control, the EN16 Grid module offers 16 velocity-sensitive rotary encoders, with configurable push button modes, multi-coloured LEDs and programmable range.

Supplier's Notes:
EN16 is made for fine-tuning enthusiasts: this Grid module offers 16 velocity sensitive incremental encoders with infinite rotation and mappable push functionality.

Create separate actions by left and right rotation or add distinguished commands with push rotation. Map banks to the same control or switch immediately from one command to another in just a second using only one module. Unlock potential through the Grid Editor with coarse or fine settings.

Equipped with customisable multi-coloured LED lights to enable labelling in dark environments. Facilitate differentiating each potmeter by changing the colour of each indicator LED, adjusting brightness levels individually or adding pulsing animations.

It is recommended that, Grid is connected directly to the computer with the supplied Intech Studio USB-C cable. Some USB hubs may not work with Grid, due to issues with how the various class compliant communication methods establish connection through a hub with the host computer.

Most digital audio workstations can identify Grid as a MIDI controller and appear as a MIDI mappable device. When multiple modules are interconnected, Grid is identified as a single control surface. If the interconnected controllers are plugged in separately into the same Host, they appear as Grid #1, Grid #2 MIDI devices and so forth.

By default, through the Host's MIDI learn functionality, all of the control elements can be mapped. Grid's default firmware uses a unique dynamic assignment, so a 10 module Grid control surface will have unique Channel, Command and CC/Note assignments on each control element.

Grid controllers are shipped with firmware default configuration. To modify the configurations of the controllers, the Grid Editor cross-platform application can be used. Through the Grid Editor, suggested manufacturer profiles and community profiles are also available. Grid has an event driven architecture, where every interaction with the controller triggers an event. The triggered event runs the configured actions, like setting LED colours and intensity.

Events on Grid available for configuration:
Init - when a page is initialized
Potmeter - fader or potentiometer change event
Encoder - rotation of endless encoders
Button - switch button or encoder interaction
Utility - side button
Midi rx - MIDI processing incoming to Grid
Timer - delayed message triggers

Grids are created to suit distinguished workflows. Whether it comes to controlling outboard hardware gear like synthesizers, guitar pedals, and effect boxes, or inboard software such as DAWs, Lightning, and VSTs, a Grid controller is an ideal choice.

Get started with Grid in an instant: just plug in, snap together and play. There is no need for a brain module or any additional software components.

Notes: EF44 Series 3 gives you control over performance effects, modulation, panning, and more, now with upgraded hardware and improved tactile options. It features audio-grade linear faders and newly redesigned metal rotary encoders, which are now available in both detent and smooth (non-stepped) variants, so you can choose the feel that best fits your workflow.

The fiberglass front panel with a textured finish adds durability and a more solid grip, making it well-suited for both studio and live use.

EF44 Series 3 supports MIDI CC mapping and integrates easily with your DAW or hardware setup. Each encoder is surrounded by a multicolor LED indicator that you can fully customize: assign colors, tweak brightness levels, or apply pulsing animations - all configurable in the Grid Editor. This makes it easier to navigate and label your controls, especially in darker environments.

As with all Grid modules, EF44 Series 3 features magnetic side connections and golden pins, allowing it to be flexibly expanded and seamlessly paired with other Grid controllers.

The Grid Editor enables a highly-customizable controlling solution through in-depth programmability in LUA code.

Compatible with Mac OS, Windows, Linux operating systems and mobile platforms. Grid supports USB native control options like MIDI, HID keyboard, mouse and game control.

Notes: The EN16 detent version is made for fine-tuning enthusiasts: this Grid module offers 16 velocity sensitive incremental encoders with infinite rotation and mappable push functionality. There are 20 'clicks' as the encoder is turned around the clock.

Notes: From subtle adjustments to expressive performances, this versatile combination of control elements definitely won't disappoint you. Includes metal shaft faders with medium resistance, smooth-turning metal shaft knobs and Gateron hall effect key switches. Control your most used parameters, like expression, modulation and volume with the PBF4 Grid. Equipped with customisable multicolored LED lights to enable labelling in dark environments. Facilitate differentiating each potmeter by changing the color of each indicator LED, adjusting brightness levels individually or adding pulsing animations. All configurable in the Grid Editor.
