- At Superbooth 2024, Dan Green from 4MS unveiled the highly anticipated MetaModule*, a groundbreaking module that brings virtual software patches to Eurorack hardware. Designed to merge the benefits of software and hardware, the *MetaModule features over 160 built-in modules, including popular offerings from Mutable Instruments and various third-party companies like Vogue Audio and Chowdhury DSP. It's possible to import further modules using the plug-in system, so the system can keep growing.
What sets the MetaModule apart is its ability to seamlessly integrate with VCV Rack*, a free open-source software platform for Eurorack virtual environments. Users can create patches on their computer and easily transfer them to the *MetaModule via SD card or USB stick, allowing for a versatile and tactile experience.
MetaModule Price: 649 USD

So unlike VCV Rack which makes virtual versions of real modules, this puts virtual modules on a real rack!?🤯 Wow. This wins the prize for most postmodern eurorack module ever. And some of the virtual modules are actually versions of real modules. So we have a real life versions of virtual modules which in turn come from the original real modules!! Like a dream within a dream!? 👽. We have reached singularity in modular synthesis.
Yo Dawg I heard you like racks so we put a vcvrack into this eurorack so you can rack while you rack
)))))
Super cool. Now, can we have 4ms modules in VCV please.
Already confirmed ;)
They're coming bud!
Even Dan's down to earth demeanor can't conceal his passion for and dedication to Eurorack, music, and technology. Truly inspiring
I knew 4ms was not playing around with this module. Bare metal application? That's some hardcore dedication to doing it right. Hats off 4ms!
Oldschool Rackhead here. I'm gonna get your thing. I dreamt about something like this for ages. (:
cheers!
Awesome Love it!! .. One of these and a Couple Distings and you got a complete Compact setup !
I think this is going to be a great way to have a complex patch ready to go and implement among other hardware modules. Things like have a custom sequencer, or certain combination of complex modulators all under external CV control but internally mixed or processed. Or something like an FX box that you can easily swap out your sounds with (again complex, maybe multiple modules that would be a larger HP than this is). It wouldn't be a crazy HP for a full on CV controlled polyphonic oscillator/voice set either.
Like others, I was blown away by this sneaked at the Buchla and Friends event. Proud that everyone kept quiet so 4ms could announce it formally. We didn’t see the expanders. Screen is beautiful if you are not anti-screen on modular. Can’t wait to order one.
Absolutely incredible capabilities! Hopefully ALM, Instruo, and other “big developers” get on board with letting us purchase and use their fantastic modules on the meta as well! 🔥😉
Omri cohen will get one for sure 😮
Он воплотил мою идею в жизнь!!))) Просто лучший!!)))))
This is the Future! Great idea. Thanks, looking forward for this module in a market.
Great coverage of Superbooth, Sonicstate! Took me 4 days or more to get through all of your videos and appreciate i's very intense for you to upload them so quickly - they're super , great audio, great everything. There are a couple questions you might have missed here:
Any specs on this ? How complex can we go ? What are the limitations on the Meta SDK ? Can we code strictly for it without having to use the main VCV repo ? Like, could. I perhaps code a single module that would be optimised for the Meta ? In the same way as Lich or Bela. Stoked it's still bare metal 🥳
Ok this is really cool.. was thinking dumb but as I watched .. wheels started turning
Wow, that's quite the feat. Major kudos to 4MS here. And may I add that as a VCV Rack user I'm very exited for the 4MS modules coming to VCV Rack 🙂
Congrats! Would be awesome to have the Nysthi, Vult and Count Modula stuff in there.
Are there modules for recording on the SD card of the Meta Module?
Heeeell yeeeeeeeah, been waiting for new info on this thing for so long, also to see it in action!
So cool!! Last 4ms releases are on point.
This is cool. This appeals to me for FX.
I wish a list of the modules in it so i can start making patches now!
I love this! I really like the Zoia Euroburo but the problem is it has no knobs, and this does have it.
It's no joke to say I will probably buy more than one.
I'm excited! I am wondering if it can also quantize (because I dont have good experience converting analog cv to digital)
As a long time VCV Rack user I think this is great. Personally I am happy with a hybrid modular so use VCV on a computer and integrate it with eurorack but this is going to be a boon for anyone who wants to use VCV patches in a live environment. The UI for setting CV range looked really well thought out.
will it be able to run sampler modules ?
Will this be available in VCV rack so I can load it into itself…?
Preordered.
This has a chance to succeed where things like the Poly Effects Hector stumbled. VCV is a standard that people can code for, rather than a proprietary system that is limited to one wildly overworked developer.
Right. I'm looking at my Hector a bit different right now.
I like the Wi-Fi expander design. The big green mystery button looks totally awesome! :)
Yes! Vult!
plugin eurorack? Awesome
Does it have midi program changes?
Righteous!
wait im dumb, this can emulate physical modules? could Mutable Instruments stuff be done in this since they are open source?
Yup
all mutable are on vcv rack
They've confirmed they are being included
Why did you get into modular? So I can ditch my laptop and get away from fricking screens!
4ms: hold my beer
I don't see the point if you can't see the whole patch on the screen. Would require a lot of remembering, I suppose.
crazy cool
Yeah, ok, sold.
This is a good direction. I've been wanting to see hardware, that can host 3rd party plugins. This isn't exactly what I want, but it's getting closer to what I want. I want a full premium synth, that can host any plugin. I'm waiting for the day that I can run Komplete Kontrol, Phase Plant, Pigment, Omnisphere, Serum, etc..., on a piece of hardware, outside of the box. Maybe even having an analog filter, to add some flavor. I would prefer high-end AD/DA conversion, with plenty of I/O. I basically want a premium computer, inside of a premium synth. Having a touch screen would be mandatory, maybe even have it so the screen can detach, like an iPad, so you can control it via bluetooth.
I hope that there‘s a port for the Valley Plateau
He said in the video there is
@@LarsBjerregaard cool! I missed it that detail
Omri grab your jacket, time to roll.
That's a pretty good idea especially since so many modules nowadays are DSP anyways.
Is this still DAWless jamming?
Sure, no DAW running
@@el_dani I understand. The line is getting thin, though.
It's absolutely amazing! I have been waiting for it for ages. VST patches into the hardware - it's generous.
wow
That’s a lot of knobs
Huhuhu he said KNOB
This thing is effen sic!! PREORDERED!!!
"Knob view".
😅😂
This is. like the ideal mega synth. I was like SOLD until he said only 4 voices polyphony.
I think that depends on what you're running, could go higher if less powerful modules
Brilliant guys! I’ve been pitching this idea of a general purpose vcv rack module to anyone who would listen for freakin’ ages! The Disting, the Illich, etc. all seemed okay but not quite like this module. Vcv rack has been missing a great opportunity to include a Module Marketplace for the developers. If need be I could buy a license from a developer/s and make my own module/patch and load it into something like this module. Can’t wait for this to come out.
B R A V O.
Kinda like poly hector with pictures
And 12 mappable knobs😉
Buy 10 of these, and you never have to buy another module.
More like two haha
This is almost a must have if you have a eurorack system. Great work.
The necessity of putting this into Eurorack systems kinda shows their pointlessness. I'm still intrigued though...
This is about as "necessary" for a Eurorack system as a condom is for a nun.
What necessity?
@@turbochargedfilmsExactly. It's very cool, but it's not a "necessity."
Honestly, it seems kinda popular among some people to trash/ look down on eurorack (/modular in general), but it's silly.*
[I say this as someone that doesn't even have a rack, haha.]
[Edit: *Don't get me wrong, jokes and stuff are fine - but some people are completely serious about it.]
Menu diving nah....
Adds screen with menus and add mapping knobs
This is fine
Yeah we really are funny like that now shut up and take my money. 💰💰💰
