Edit description

Discover the Synthwerks FSR-4, an essential component for any modular synthesizer enthusiast looking to bring a tactile dimension to their soundscapes. This module offers four independent force-sensing resistor (FSR) sensors, allowing musicians to explore expressive control over their modular setup like never before. The FSR-4 is designed for intuitive playability, translating pressure into control voltage to manipulate a range of parameters, from pitch to modulation, with precision and creativity.

Each of the four pressure-sensitive pads responds dynamically to touch, providing a seamless connection between your hands and the sound. Whether you're performing live or experimenting in the studio, the Synthwerks FSR-4 enhances your creative workflow with its straightforward interface and robust build quality. It integrates effortlessly into any Eurorack system, making it a versatile addition to both seasoned modular users and newcomers alike.

Crafted with performance in mind, the FSR-4 not only expands your sonic capabilities but also encourages new approaches to sound design. Dive into an immersive world of tactile exploration and unlock the full potential of your modular rig with the Synthwerks FSR-4.

Key Features:

Four independent force-sensing resistor sensors for dynamic control
