Intech studio Grid Series 3 - PO16 Linear

The Intech Studio Grid Series 3 – PO16 Linear is a compact, modular USB MIDI controller featuring 16 precision rotary potentiometers. Designed to provide direct access to a wide range of parameters, it is ideally suited for controlling equalizers, filters, synthesizers, effects, virtual instruments, and music production software.

The 16 rotary potentiometers now feature metal shafts, ensuring precise and robust operation. Their layout enables a true "one-knob-per-function" control surface, where each potentiometer is directly assigned to a specific parameter for quick, intuitive manipulation.

Each potentiometer features its own customizable, multi-color RGB LED indicator. Color and brightness can be adjusted individually, and light animations can be programmed to easily distinguish between controls, even in dark environments.

The PO16 also includes a side-mounted function button that allows for quick switching between control pages and access to different configurations.

Using the Grid Editor software, control behavior can be fully customized. Advanced users can take customization even further with Lua programming support, enabling the creation of bespoke functions and workflows.

Like other modules in the Grid series, the PO16 utilizes a modular magnetic connection system, allowing multiple controllers to be assembled in various configurations. A single USB-C cable can provide both power and data transmission for multiple interconnected Grid modules.

Compact, rugged, and highly portable, the PO16 is an ideal solution for creating a custom MIDI control surface—whether in the studio, on stage, or on the go. Key Features
