Alright, this thing is deep! This little device holds a separate, seemingly endless multiverse of virtual modules within it. It can run virtual patches and control them with real-world knobs and jacks. There are a total of 160 built-in modules and a growing ecosystem of over 200 third-party plugins already available. A modular system, within a module, within a modular system - this is the Inception-moment for Eurorack.

Ok, before we get completely overwhelmed, let’s start on the hardware level. The front panel of the MetaModule offers 12 knobs, 6 CV/Audio inputs, 2 Gate inputs and 8 CV/Audio outputs. In the center of the module is the window into its software soul. This is where the virtual patches are displayed. Zoom level can be adjusted to get a better overview of whatever you currently have loaded up.

What built-in modules are on offer then except from the multitude by 4ms? To list a few others you’ll also find creations by Befaco, HetrickCV, NonlinearCircuits, and Scanner Darkly, plus clones of ultra-popular classics such as those by Mutable Instruments. If the 160+ built-in modules aren’t enough, you can load more modules as plugins. Already there are over 200 modules in third-party plugins from Bogaudio, Valley, ChowDSP, NANO Modular. Expect this list to grow!
Patches are easily managed with options to load from a microSD card, USB drive, or via the Wifi expander. You can save them onto the internal flash memory for quick access. The key functionality of the MetaModule is that you can use all the knobs and jacks on the MetaModule to map to different parts of the virtual patches you run within it. The possibilities of this is pretty startingly mind-boggling, and with an ever growing library of modules and plugins, this rabbit hole is deemed to increase with time.

If you’re in need of more physical controls, there are expanders on the horizon that will cater to that. The USB-C jack lets you integrate your MIDI devices and other external drives. 

The MetaModule is not one module, but hundreds. It’s what you want it to be, and that list of virtual modules on offer will just keep on growing. Quite a special one this is – it really is all in the name.
