{"product_id":"4ms-company-metamodule","title":"4ms Company MetaModule Virtual Patch Player Eurorack Synth Module","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e4ms Company MetaModule\u003c\/strong\u003e 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. The MetaModule comes with hundreds of 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, with the ability to add hundreds more via plug-ins.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eMETAMODULE PLUG-INS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIf the 160+ built-in modules aren’t enough, you can load more modules as plug-ins. Already there are over 200 modules in third-party plug-ins from Bogaudio, Valley, ChowDSP, NANO Modular, and the list is growing. 4ms have an SDK available to make it easy for VCV Rack plug-in developers to convert their plug-in to a MetaModule plug-in. 4ms licensing terms are non-restrictive: developers are welcome to distribute their plug-in in any way they wish, commercially or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eMAPPING KNOBS AND JACKS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\r\nExpanders\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThere 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. All expanders for MetaModule will be available later in 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eUNDER THE HOOD\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThere are six CV\/Audio inputs, two gate inputs, and six CV\/Audio outputs. The CV\/Audio jacks are all 24-bit, 48 kHz DC-coupled, -10V to +10V. A USB-C jack accepts MIDI devices and thumb drives. Patches and plug-ins 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODULES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e160+ built-in modules\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOver 600 3rd-party module plug-ins available so far, and the ecosystem is growing\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCreate patches using VCV Rack or directly on MetaModule\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePATCHES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePatches are loaded from microSD Card, USB drive, or via the Wifi expander\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePatches can be optionally saved onto internal flash memory\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCreate patches using VCV Rack or directly on MetaModule\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePatches can be given a name and description\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMAPPINGS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMap each physical knob to up to 8 virtual knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSet range and offset for each mapping, including inverted control\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eKnob mappings are grouped into Knob Sets, and changing Knob Sets can be done quickly without menu-diving\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMap physical jacks to virtual jacks, seamlessly making splits\/mults\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAdd or edit modules, cables, and mappings in real-time while the patch is playing\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCreate alias names for mappings like \"Kick Drum Level\"\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTERFACE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSimple, intuitive graphical interface lets you zoom in on details, or zoom out to get a big picture\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePatch View displays the patch as faceplates and cables, with knobs, buttons, and lights animating in real-time\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eKnob Set View simplifies the display, showing only the mapped knobs for the current Knob Set\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eModule View shows just one module and lists the names of each jack, knob, and control legibly\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMapping View lets you adjust details of a knob mapping\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAdjust styles and visual preferences to your liking\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSave, rename, duplicate, and delete patches\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFirmware updater and plug-in loader read from microSD Card or USB drive\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e12 Knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e8 CV\/Audio outputs, 24-bit 48 kHz, -10V to +10V, DC-coupled\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e6 CV\/Audio inputs, 24-bit 48 kHz, -10V to +10V, DC-coupled\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e2 Gate inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eUSB-C jack: MIDI Host or MSC (External drive) Host\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003emicroSD Card slot\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Flash RAM for additional patch storage\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDual-core 800MHz Cortex-A7 plus Cortex-M4 co-processor\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e512MB DDR3 533MHz RAM\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBare-metal operation for fast startup and low latency\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"4ms Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451172941927,"sku":"467309","price":649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/4ms-metamodule_467309_1.jpg?v=1787096132","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/4ms-company-metamodule","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
