Node18
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Node18 is a passive 1U utility module that sends up to 18 independent signals over a single high-density cable. Use it to bridge the top and bottom of a case like the Explorer Case or a Monster Case, to connect two separate studio racks, or to interface with external desktop sequencers. Consolidating your patch points keeps your performance space clean, organized and easy to navigate.
Because Node18 is completely passive, it needs no power. It works as a bi-directional patchbay for CV, audio, gates, triggers and clocks.
Node18 is fully cross-compatible with the OXI Instruments OXI Pipe MKII. With the alternative Node18pipe faceplate, Node18 becomes the OXI Pipe for the OXI One sequencer, bringing 18 channels of sequencing power directly into your 1U row with a single cable.
