The PO16 Linear is a powerful yet compact MIDI controller module specifically designed for precise control of continuous parameters such as EQs, filters or modular synthesizer setups. With its 16 high-quality, linear 300° rotary potentiometers, it offers a tactile and ergonomic interface for creative applications in the studio, on stage or in mobile use.
Each of the 16 potentiometers is equipped with its own RGB LED display, which allows color coding, brightness settings and animations. This allows users to keep track of their assignments even in dark environments. or in one-knob-per-function workflows or complex multi-layer setups - the PO16 ensures visual clarity and smooth operation.
The PO16 is part of Intech Studio's modular Grid Series - a family of MIDI, HID and serial controllers for musicians, producers, VJs, filmmakers and other digital creatives. Thanks to the innovative magnetic connection system, up to eight modules can be combined with each other and operated via a single USB-C cable. The modules communicate seamlessly as a single plug-and-play device without the need for additional drivers.
The PO16 can be fully customized using the free, cross-platform Grid Editor software. Users can program MIDI mappings, LED behavior and logical responses to interactions via Lua scripting or access a growing library of community and manufacturer profiles. The supported MIDI resolutions of up to 12 bits ensure maximum accuracy in parameter control.
The PO16 impresses with a robust aluminum front panel, ergonomically shaped potentiometers with plastic caps and a sturdy plastic frame with injection-molded housing base. Neodymium magnets and gold-plated plug contacts guarantee secure, long-lasting connections - perfect for professional use on the road and in the studio.
