Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The CM1A is a surprisingly capable little module for the price. It's perfect for modular newcomers or anyone wanting to sequence their synths from a computer or MIDI controller without a huge investment. Don't expect premium feel, but the conversion accuracy is solid for basic sequencing and modulation.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's good for the price point – 16-bit resolution is respectable, but higher-end modules offer finer resolution for very precise control.
No, it's primarily designed for monophonic or duophonic operation; you’d need multiple CM1As or a more advanced interface for true polyphony.
While USB-B isn't the latest standard, it functions perfectly well and its limited future-proofing is a small compromise given the value it provides.
