The E4 is a really clever expansion for the Droid Master, giving you precise, tactile control over multiple parameters without those jarring value jumps. It's ideal for experimental sound designers and those who like to meticulously sculpt their patches—a nice upgrade if you already own the Droid Master and want deeper control.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, the E4 is specifically designed to interface with the Droid Master via the included ribbon cable; it's not a general-purpose controller.
The programming process is handled within the Droid Master's firmware, which will have a learning curve depending on your familiarity with the system.
Yes, they're smooth, detent-free multiturn encoders, providing a very precise and refined feel for fine-tuning parameters—characteristic of high-quality European-made components.
