4ms Meta Module

Physical button expander for live MetaModule patch control

26 HP Eurorack module

The MetaModule MetaButtons Expander is a hardware button controller that connects to the 4ms MetaModule via a 12-pin ribbon cable and adaptor board, providing up to 32 physical buttons for controlling patches and parameters. Up to four MetaButtons units can be daisy-chained together, each assigned a unique address for buttons 1-8, 9-16, 17-24, or 25-32. It is designed for live performance and patch control, giving hands-on access to discrete button inputs within the MetaModule ecosystem.
