The MetaModule puts real knobs and jacks on virtual software modules. Step back from the computer and make music with hardware, while keeping the flexibility and expandability of software.THIS PRODUCT IS ASSEMBLED AND NO DIY!The MetaModule comes with over 160 built-in modules from 4ms Company, Befaco, HetrickCV, NonlinearCircuits, and Scanner Darkly, plus clones of popular classics such as the Mutable Instruments Eurorack modules, fun physical modeling algorithms, and lots of handy utilities.All of the included modules are also available on the computer using the free program VCV Rack. Whether you make patches on VCV Rack and transfer them to the MetaModule, or if you just create patches directly on the MetaModule, there are plenty of creative modules to inspire new ways to make music.MetaModule PluginsIf the 160+ built-in module aren’t enough, you can load more modules as plugins. Already there are over 200 modules in third-party plugins from Bogaudio, Valley, ChowDSP, NANO Modular, and the list is growing. We have an SDK available to make it easy for VCV Rack plugin developers to convert their plugin to a MetaModule plugin. Our licensing terms are non-restrictive: developers are welcome to distribute their plugin in any way they wish, commercially or not.Mapping Knobs and JacksThe MetaModule has 12 knobs that can be mapped to virtual knobs. Each knob can be mapped to up eight virtual knobs, and each mapping can have a different range and offset. You also can save a group of mappings as a Knob Set and switch between Knob Sets with the encoder. You also can map the 8 inputs and 8 outputs to virtual module jacks. Also, the MetaModule is a USB MIDI host, so you also can map MIDI CC, note, gate, and other parameters to knobs and jacks.ExpandersThere are lots of ways to customize your MetaModule. A Wifi expander allows you to wirelessly transfer patches from your computer. Add eight more knobs with the Knob expander, or buttons with the Button expander. A CV/Audio expander adds more high-resolution inputs and outputs, and the Gate In/Out expander adds not only gate jacks but also TRS MIDI and I2C.Under the HoodThere are six CV/Audio inputs, two gate inputs, and six CV/Audio outputs. The CV/Audio jacks are all 24-bit, 48kHz DC-coupled, -10V to +10V. A USB-C jack accepts MIDI devices and thumb drives. Patches and plugins can be loaded via a USB drive or microSD Card, and internal flash memory lets you save patches you always want to come back to.The processor is more advanced than anything 4ms has used in the past, and is among the most powerful processors found in Eurorack. Startup time and latency are blazingly fast.Features:Patches• Patches are loaded from microSD Card, USB drive, or via the Wifi expander• Patches can be optionally saved onto internal flash memory• Create patches using VCV Rack or directly on MetaModule• Patches can be given a name and descriptionMappings• Map each physical knob to up to 8 virtual knobs• Set range and offset for each mapping, including inverted control• Knob mappings are grouped into Knob Sets, and changing Knob Sets can be done quickly without menu-diving• Map physical jacks to virtual jacks, seamlessly making splits/mults• Add or edit modules, cables, and mappings in real-time while the patch is playing• Create alias names for mappings like "Kick Drum Level"Interface• Simple, intuitive graphical interface lets you zoom in on details, or zoom out to get a big picture• Patch View displays the patch as faceplates and cables, with knobs, buttons, and lights animating in real-time• Knob Set View simplifies the display, showing only the mapped knobs for the current Knob Set• Module View shows just one module and lists the names of each jack, knob, and control legibly• Mapping View lets you adjust details of a knob mapping• Adjust styles and visual preferences to your liking• Save, rename, duplicate, and delete patches• Firmware updater and plugin loader read from microSD Card or USB driveHardware• 12 Knobs• 8 CV/Audio outputs, 24-bit 48kHz, -10V to +10V, DC-coupled• 6 CV/Audio inputs, 24-bit 48kHz, -10V to +10V, DC-coupled• 2 Gate inputs• USB-C jack: MIDI Host or MSC (External drive) Host• microSD Card slot• Internal Flash RAM for additional patch storage• Dual-core 800MHz Cortex-A7 plus Cortex-M4 co-processor• 512MB DDR3 533MHz RAM• Bare-metal operation for fast startup and low latencyDIY-Kit-Type:Assembled unit.

Gate duration can be randomized.Random voltage generator• 3 outputs, either clocked by the 3 outputs of the random gate generator, or by a common external clock.• Distribution control: SPREAD control, scanning between constant, bell-shaped, uniform or discrete distributions; and BIAS control biasing the generated voltage towards the bottom or top of the voltage range.• Adjustable range: 0 to +2V (for melodies), 0 to +5V, -5V to +5V.Quantized or smooth... CV Post-processor• The STEPS parameter controls the steppiness/quantization of the output voltages.• Turn this knob clockwise and a progressive quantizer is applied to the voltages - progressively reducing the probability of hitting a note outside of the scale, then making accidentals less likely, then giving more weight to the root and fifth - and at the extreme yielding only octaves.• If steppy is not your thing, turn counterclockwise to increasingly slew the output voltages to the point that the module produces smooth, continuous curves.Programmable quantizer• 6 programmable scales.• Scales are programmed by playing a short jam in the target scale: Marbles learns which notes are more prominent than others.Output diversity• The three outputs can all follow the settings dialed on the control panel, or react in different and opposite ways. The turn of a knob can completely push your patch towards a new direction!Random looping and shuffling• DEJA VU parameter increasing the probably of re-playing past material to the point that the generated output forms a loop... then increasing the probability of randomizing the order of this loop.• The DEJA VU control applies to the random rhythm, the random voltages, or to both, or neither of them.• Adjustable loop length from 1 to 16 steps.External CV processing• An external CV can be recorded in the DEJA VU loop in place of internal random voltages.• All transformations performed by the random voltage generator (looping, shuffling, spreading, transposition, quantization, lag-processing) can be performed on external voltages.• TLDR: live remixing of external sequences!DIY-Kit-Type:PCB only Kit. This is a do-it-yourself PCB kit, no parts or Panel are supplied, you will need to source them yourself.
Features:Digital function generator• 3 operating mode: AD envelope, looping (VC-LFO/VCDO), AR envelope.• 3 frequency ranges for the main frequency knob: low (2 minutes to 2 Hz), medium (0.125 Hz to 32 Hz), high (8 Hz to 2kHz). This range can be widened by applying an offset on the V/OCT input.A large palette of waveforms• Shape control with CV input – covering various combinations of linear, exponential, or sinusoidal segments.• Slope/asymmetry (A/D time ratio) control with CV input.• Smoothness control with CV input: smoothes the waveform using a 2-pole digital filter, or adds bumps and kinks with a digital wavefolder.External clocking/PLL• The module can use an external clock or clean audio signal as a reference, and operate at a multiple of this clock (from 1/16 to 16x).• This allows, for example, the generation of (sub)harmonics from another VCO.4 output modes• Different shapes. Each output produces a different waveshape: main signal (with voltage-controlled attenuverter), raw asymmetric triangle, end of attack gate, end of release gate.• Different amplitudes: Voltage-controlled dispatching of the signal to each of the 4 outputs.• Different times: Voltage-controlled phase or apex shifting of the signal.• Different frequencies: Outputs 2, 3, and 4 are shifted up or down in frequency relatively to output 1, creating chords or polyrhythmic LFOs.DIY-Kit-Type:PCB only Kit. This is a do-it-yourself PCB kit, no parts or Panel are supplied, you will need to source them yourself.
Clock Multiple, Conditioner, and Divider in a compact 2 HP formatDistribute your clocks throughout your system using minimal rack space.The first three outputs maintain the same frequency as the input, while outputs 4 to 7 provide time divisions of 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16.The active topology allows you to patch clocks on the fly, avoiding the tempo interruptions that can occur with passive multiples.To reduce the footprint, the input is a TRS jack, with the clock signal on the tip and the reset on the ring. For standard clock only operation, use a regular mono cable, or use the provided splitter to access the reset function.Features:• IN Accept pulses greater than 2V.• Scale all clocks to 10V.• Accept audio rate square waves for suboctave generation.• 7 Outs: 3 conditioned copys + 4 quadratic divisions.DIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1.
