Looking for a module that simplifies control over your Eurorack setup? Look no further than the CONTROL module. This versatile module streamlines control over four independent stages, each of which generates an adjustable voltage using a potentiometer ranging from -5V to +5V. This makes it perfect for a range of uses, such as checking CV inputs, grouping together module controls, accessing parameters of external synthesizers, and generating continuous GATE signals.
One of the great things about the CONTROL module is its skiff-friendly design. It features potentiometers with central detent and is available with matte black or white panel options, so you can seamlessly integrate it into your existing setup.
In terms of use, the CONTROL module can be used in a variety of ways: you can check the CV inputs of modules that don't have them, group together four module controls scattered throughout your boxes, deport access to parameters of a compatible external synthesizer (such as the MS20 mini or Arturia), generate a continuous GATE, and more.
Manufactured by Christian from ph modular, the CONTROL module is built to last and is available as an assembled module (no kit required).

Shipping is available worldwide, so anyone can benefit from the streamlined control the CONTROL module provides.
Example Usage
If you're just starting to build your eurorack setup and don't have many modules yet, the CONTROL module is a great option to consider. With its four independent stages, you can easily adjust and control the voltage of your modules that do not have CV inputs. Plus, its potentiometers with central detent make it easy for beginners to use and keep track of their settings. So whether you're looking to streamline your control module setup or deport access to parameters of a compatible external synthesizer, the CONTROL module is a convenient and affordable option to consider.
An intermediate-level usage example of the CONTROL module is to use it to control oscillators or filters that do not have CV inputs. For example, let's say you have a basic oscillator that only has a frequency knob. You can use the CONTROL module to add CV control to the oscillator by patching one of the CONTROL module's outputs to the oscillator's frequency input. Now you have more precise control over the oscillator's pitch using the CONTROL module's potentiometers. This allows you to easily tune your oscillator to specific notes, or create complex pitch modulation effects using LFOs or envelopes.
Further Thoughts
One exciting way to use the CONTROL module is to group together in one place four module controls scattered in your boxes. This is particularly useful for live performances when you need immediate access to several controls at once. For example, if you want to manipulate the filter cutoff, LFO rate, and oscillator wave shape simultaneously, you can assign each control to a separate section of the CONTROL module and tweak them all in one place. The potentiometers with central detents make it easy to know precisely where the zero point is, so you can set the controls to the right position quickly. With the CONTROL module, you can streamline the control of your Eurorack setup and focus on making music.
