Intech Studio Grid
First previewed as early as 2018 and then launched on Indiegogo, the Intech Studio Grid controllers took a while to become widely available. While they’ve been out and about for a while now, you can now finally purchase the six controllers from Thomann!
At first glance, the concept seems similar to ROLI Blocks: Six compact controllers that snap together by means of magnets and tiny pins on all sides to form a custom control surface for any application.
From adding trigger buttons and jog wheels to your DJ setup to building a custom DAW controller and mixing surface, anything is possible.
The Grid controllers also seem like a perfect fit for multimedia applications that might require a specific set of controls not commonly available.
These are the six modular Grid controllers currently available from Intech:
- BU16: 16 buttons
- PO16: 16 rotary potentiometers
- EN16: 16 rotary encoders
- EF44: 4 faders and 4 encoders
- PBF4: 4 faders, 4 potentiometers, 4 buttons
- TEK2: 2 push jog wheels, 8 buttons
All buttons, knobs and faders are equipped with RGB LEDs for feedback. The controllers snap together magnetically, with small pins carrying the electrical signals. No matter the configuration, the entire grid only requires a single USB-C connection to your computer, which also supplies power to the whole thing.
The Grid Editor software allows you to customize the controls and save and recall configurations, which can also be stored in the controllers for offline use. If you want to dive in deeper, everything is deeply customizable using the Lua scripting language.

Oh dear, once again a device without displays under the endless rotary knobs, which you can “label” yourself individually with a bluetooth keyboard, for example.
Sorry but that device feels a bit uninnovative.
they’ve been available to order from their website for a while. that’s a cool concept if you want minimalistic controllers. Also they seem to be extremely customizable.
Wow looks good, love the size. Anyone tried it with the Ableton blue hand script they have on their site? Have been looking for something like this but the blue hand is a must
I don’t understand the tiny pads/buttons. Seemingly purely a esthaetic consideration? What about usability? Make them bigger so you don’t have to look if you hit them.
