4ms Catalyst Controller Eurorack Module (20 HP)

Take control of your modular signals with the 4ms Catalyst Controller, a macro controller with eight precision CV outputs and a responsive crossfader to morph between scenes. Each scene is a snapshot of up to eight CV outputs, which can work like a modular preset. Jump to different scenes with the dedicated scene buttons or traverse a pathway composed of multiple scenes using the crossfader or an external CV signal. Record CV and slider movements, and play recordings back via a button or external trigger.

Catalyst Sequencer

The Catalyst Controller can also turn into a Catalyst Sequencer. Hold down a special button combination to change between controller and sequencer modes. If you end up liking the Sequencer more, you can even remove the double-sided faceplate, flip it over, and reinstall with the Sequencer artwork visible.
