In my first few days with the Meta I’ve found that I rarely use all the outputs, and I always want more inputs. Obviously other people will have other use cases — the Meta can do almost anything — but I suspect one very common use will be a pair of stereo outs and a ton of modulation ins (and audio ins, in the case of effects patches).
So I was surprised to notice that the I/O extender seems to have six ins and eight outs. Given the existing eight outs on the module, I’d prefer to see an extender with 14 ins! (Or maybe eight ins, two knobs, four buttons.)
Curious if others have the same experience or if I’m an outlier. Maybe you guys are all making matrix mixers!
I don’t believe 4ms put these up - someone took the shapes from one of the many videos about. No wi-fi version as there wasn’t a clear shot of it. There are several comments about (here, modwiggler etc) where Dan has explained that they will be producing the expanders over the next few months starting with the wi-fi expander, hopefully available September/October. So I would guess they would be rolling these out over the next few months thereafter - which all seems very reasonable to me. Target price suggested around $100. This is early pre-sale info so obviously things may change. I’m sure the forum will be one of the first places for the real announcement(s) in due course.
I see your point. Though it depends on if you using it as a modulator or modulating it. I’m very new to this module but I see NLC modules like triple sloths and would like all those outputs.
