THIS IS HOW WE DEFORM: INTELLIJEL Planar


This is the first joystick that I really think is useful beyond quick rushes of sound and novelty maneuvers (I'm thinking here of my Synthi joystick as well as the Flight of Harmony Choices,  both of which are rather limited in their potential).  The Planar seems very sensitive and smooth in operation which gives it the feel of an instrument,  not a flimsy toy.  The limitations of the basic X/Y axis are brushed aside by not only a manual gate button (plus gate and "sense" outs),  but an abundance of signal and cv inputs/outputs.  All of which makes this module quite a bit of fun for the adventurous Eurorack noise-nik.
