Step into the world of expressive sound manipulation with the Intellijel Planar², a dynamic addition to any modular synthesizer setup. This joystick CV controller is not just another module; it's a gateway to tactile sound sculpting that brings a new dimension to your sonic creativity. Whether you're exploring ambient soundscapes or crafting intricate electronic tracks, the Planar² offers unparalleled hands-on control over your modular synth.

With its unipolar and bipolar X/Y outputs, the Planar² gives you precise control over modulation, allowing for a seamless transition between sound textures. The module boasts four quadrant outputs (A-D) that range from 0 V to 10 V, providing immense flexibility in routing audio and control signals. Whether you're using it as a vector mixer, quadraphonic pan controller, or crossfader, the possibilities are endless.

Innovatively designed, the Planar² allows you to generate gate signals through intuitive joystick movements or by using the push button. Capture the essence of your performance with the CV Recorder, which records joystick gestures for up to 30 seconds, and offers playback options such as loop and one-shot, perfectly synchronized to external triggers. This module is a must-have for those who seek to inject movement and life into their modular setups.
