Deftaudio is at it once more! We not too long ago lined their fidget spinner Eurorack module, and now they’ve turned the idea on its head! A highly effective stepper motor inside this module has a shaft coupler hooked up to it, so you may get artistic and use it to show knobs mechanically on some other module in your rack. Or you might use it as a show piece, and have it spin an LED board in response to the music you’re making.
The MotorPot could be managed through MIDI by means of the usual Eurorack TRS-A/B cables or through USB as a MIDI class machine. It’s additionally attainable to rotate it with a management and gate voltage like conventional analog synthesizers sometimes use.

The instance proven above may be very over-the-top and we expect it’s nice! Controlling a linear potentiometer with a reciprocating drive is simply ridiculous sufficient to be superior. The actual stepper motor used has some energy behind it, and Deftaudio recommends giving it a separate 2A provide if it’s going for use in a approach that attracts a number of energy. Most Eurorack energy provides aren’t fairly beefy sufficient to deal with the load that this module creates, so double-check what your rack has earlier than set up.
The module is on the market each as a DIY equipment and as a totally assembled unit, able to go. If constructing the DIY possibility, be certain that to get a Teensy 4.0, both from Deftaudio pre-programmed or from one other vendor after which program it your self. Give your rack some persona with this quirky motorized module!
