The M4 is a seriously cool addition if you're already in the Droid Master ecosystem. It lets you build some genuinely unique performance workflows with those motorized faders and programmable haptic feedback—perfect for experimental musicians and those who want to get really granular with their sequencing and modulation.

Product Description

  • Der Mann mit der Maschine M4 Motor Fader Unit
  • Eurorack Module
  • Expands the Droid Master (Art.#542913#) by 4 motorised faders (60 mm)
  • each with status LED and button
  • Possible applications: output of control voltages
  • step sequencer
  • mixer for audio and CV signals
  • ADSR envelopes and much more
  • Several fader levels with different functions can be defined
  • Haptic feedback programmable with discrete steps or variable resistance (applications: Pitch-bender
  • selection of notes of a scale
  • transposition of a sequence
  • direct selection of waveforms or presets
  • etc.)
  • Current consumption: 350mA (+12V) / 0mA (-12V)
  • Width: 14 HP
  • Depth: 42 mm
PROS
  • • Motorized faders offer precise, repeatable control for complex sequences
  • • Programmable haptic feedback adds unique expressive possibilities for performance
  • • 60mm faders provide good visual feedback and a substantial feel
  • • Compact 14HP footprint maximizes space in Eurorack setups
CONS
  • • Requires the Droid Master module, increasing the overall investment
  • • 350mA current draw can be significant, demanding a robust power supply
  • • Limited to four faders, which might not suffice for larger setups

Frequently Asked Questions

No, the M4 is explicitly designed as an expansion module for the Droid Master. It won't function independently.
You can program discrete steps or variable resistance, offering a good degree of customization, though creating completely arbitrary curves might require some experimentation and programming finesse.
60mm is a fairly common size, but Der Mann mit der Maschine uses a custom potentiometer. Replacement parts are unlikely to be readily available and would likely require contacting the manufacturer directly.
