Intech Studio BU16 MIDI Controller (Series 2 - Tactile Button)

We say...

We love this range of modular MIDI controllers from Intech. The compact square units snap together with magnets, letting you build up a custom control service with your preferred combo of buttons, knobs and faders. Smart!

Manufacturer's description

A neat button module with long-lasting 4x4 tactile buttons that provide instant access to triggering samples, launching clips, controlling playback, or just simply drumming. 

Set them to momentary, 2 or 3-step toggle action to enjoy playful experimentation. Can be used with other Grid controllers used as a HID macro controller or for MIDI programming in your creative environment.

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.
