The PO16 is my go to Midi Controller for Live parameter control
Submission date: 2024-10-02
General Review
The PO16 straight out of the box, plugs straight into my HP laptop, giving me live midi parameter control of my DAWs and various VST instruments. I love the size and feel of the PO16. It comes travelling with me for music production on the go, taking up minimal space along with my laptop.
Met Your Expectations?
My expectation was easily met with this fantastic mini midi controller. It is a perfect fit for my needs taking very little space in my studio, and minimal space when travelling along with me. I have a heap of hardware equipment in my studio, but when travelling the PO16 is my go to controller, enabling me to produce live manipulated tracks pretty much anywhere connected to my laptop. I will be shortly adding to the PO16, and look forward to using the amazing innovative connectivity these Intech Studio devices have. I also love the fact that these units can be repaired at home by the user, since Intech Studio provide replacements components to do that.
How Do You Use Grid?
I use the PO16 as a midi interface to VCV Rack, various Cherry Audio virtual instruments, and within the Reaper DAW. It works fantastically well, giving me instant adjustment to the parameters I wanting to manipulate.

Easy to connect, but needs some time and effort to customise to your needs. And now it works with my blackbox to control effects and some other parameters, also controlling bluebox at the same time)

It is almost what I expected.

Great 16 knobs
Submission date: 2024-02-21
General Review
Great controller! Especially in conjunction with the PBF4 modules, I find. It's nice that with both units you can put together a nice 4 channel mixer and extend that. The PBF4 is well built, feels solid and comes in a simple kept design. Also nice is that there's enough space between each single knob.

It has been great to be able to control so many audio sends at the same time on live situations. The modular flexibility is one of the best characteristics as I can take to the performances the exact modules I need.
Met Your Expectations?
It definitely met my expectations. Takes a little bit of time to get the Editor but works great.
How Do You Use Grid?
I use the grid modules to perform live electronics in multichannel setups to create live spatial music.

I'm very please with the quality of the build. You usually don't get the same quality for the price. The editor software is where the units shine. A lot of options are available to you. It speaks to this programmer.

General Review
The PO16 is a well-crafted device that strikes a perfect balance in its tactile feedback. The feel of the knob when turned is neither too light nor too heavy, providing a robust and sturdy sensation. Although the initial setup can be challenging, once accustomed, it allows for seamless transmission of values to any device right at your fingertips. Additionally, its portability is a significant advantage, making it extremely easy to attach and detach the product as needed.
Met Your Expectations?
Yes, the PO16 met my expectations in terms of build quality and functionality. The device's robust feel and ease of use once set up were exactly what I was looking for. Its portability and the convenience of attaching and detaching it further exceeded my expectations.
How Do You Use Grid?
I use the grid feature to efficiently manage and send values to various devices. Once familiar with the setup, the grid becomes an intuitive tool that enhances the overall functionality of the PO16, allowing for quick adjustments and seamless integration with my workflow.

This product has a perfectly compact size and sufficient functionality that traditional MIDI controllers didn’t have. The material quality is also excellent. I really love it—it’s my ultimate partner.
Met Your Expectations?
In a setup where space is limited, using a hardware synthesizer and DAW simultaneously, this product does an excellent job with its sufficient number of knobs, compact size, and expandability.
How Do You Use Grid?
I use this product for macro control in improvisational performances with a DAW and a hardware synthesizer.

The PO16 is exactly what I've been looking for.

General Review
Love the programmability of these devices. The PO16 works great to control VSTs and my DAW. Works great out of the box but if you want to go deeper configurability and programmability is awesome. But requires a basic bit of programming knowledge.
Met Your Expectations?
The build is great. My only complaint would be that I wish the knobs were a little bit further apart and had more grip. And turned a little bit more uniformly smooth between each knob.
How Do You Use Grid?
I use grid to control vsts and my DAW (Cubase). I use in conjunction with a stream deck on a Mac. I have been able to integrate the PO16 knobs with my stream decks which is exactly what I was looking for. I will also be using it to control other software but have not set up yet.

Relatively easy to setup and I love that you can magnetically snap them together how you want.
Met Your Expectations?
After a little bit of learning I was able to quickly build my first configuration for controlling the Torso S-4 parameters for all four tracks. I look forward to creating new configurations for more synths and drum machines.
