Just had to post a shout out for this!

Mine arrived about 30 minutes ago. Fabulous looking piece of kit, available at Schnieder's. 16 Alps faders - 16 * 5v or 10v faders (each can be individually set) ... MIDI and I2C outputs.., activity/power light. Available as a kit, or of course you can bake from scratch on GITHUB.... but I wanted a pro-build. And it is!

Comes supplied with lovely desktop case (which I will use), Euro power cable, USB cable (power), mini-jack to MIDI cable and I2C cable. So yes, euro rack fit, but quite large, and so I will use it out of rack. Best really, as the point is to control your euro easy without the rats-nest getting in the way.

Can't believe this hasn't had more coverage... Now to go and play. I'm sure it is just what the doctor ordered

+1 for this.

Great piece of gear. I use this mainly with an ER-301 and it had been a game changer really.

It's a build of the open-source 16n Faderbank -- there have been both standalone versions and Eurorack variants for a couple of years now. But yeah, it's kind of flown a little under the radar I think.

I had one of the Michigan Synth Works builds with bamboo panels, then switched to a Tesseract Sweet Sixteen with a couple other modules in a Pod 60. The nice thing about Tesseract's version is the CV inputs -- you can use it to convert CV to MIDI/i2c, or just use some channels as analog attenuators.

In any form it's extremely useful IMHO, especially if you use Euro with a DAW or have a Teletype or ER-301!

Monotrail Tech Talk does a really good overview of how he uses his. I will pick up the Michigan Synth Works version because it has an additional +-5 volts!

Had it playing with my Disting EX yesterday. Much fun Great to set up mappings to work with the wavetable synth mode. Damn thing really came alive. Brilliant.... and yes, agree, it would be good to have the +/- switch for the 5v polarity, but hey...
