Intech studio Grid Series 3 - EF44 Detent

The Intech Studio EF44 Detent – ??Grid Series 3 is a modular USB MIDI controller designed to provide precise control over effects, modulation, panning, and numerous other parameters, whether in the studio or on stage.

This new generation features a revised hardware design and improved ergonomics. It combines four 60mm linear faders with four endless metal rotary encoders, offering an ideal setup for simultaneously controlling multiple parameters in your DAW, plug-ins, or hardware MIDI gear.

This "Detent" version is equipped with notched encoders providing 20 steps per rotation. This mechanical feel allows for precise adjustments while offering clear tactile feedback with every movement.

Each encoder is surrounded by a fully customizable multi-color LED ring. Using the Grid Editor, you can assign different colors, adjust individual brightness levels, or even use pulsing animations to ensure clear visual feedback, even in low-light environments.

The linear faders are particularly well-suited for controlling volume, effect levels, synth parameters, or any MIDI CC command requiring smooth, precise adjustment.

The EF44 Series 3 supports MIDI CC mapping and integrates seamlessly with your DAW and MIDI equipment. Its textured fiberglass faceplate enhances grip and durability, making it a tool suited for both intensive studio use and live performances.

Like all modules in the Grid series, the EF44 features a magnetic connection system that allows multiple controllers to be assembled in various configurations. The side connections utilize gold-plated spring pins and powerful N52 neodymium magnets, enabling you to create a custom, scalable control surface. Applications

The EF44 Detent is suitable for a wide range of uses:

Music production: controlling volume, synthesizer parameters, effects, panning, and macros
Mixing: managing levels, effect sends, and plug-in parameters
Live performance: rapid real-time manipulation of effects and parameters
Hardware MIDI control: controlling synthesizers, effects, and other MIDI-compatible gear
Automation: precise control of MIDI CC parameters in your DAW
