Intech Studio ZONA

NewReleased 2026

An XY touch pad for the Grid system: a capacitive multitouch surface that tracks up to five fingers at 0 to 1023 per axis, so one gesture moves two parameters at once and records into the DAW as automation. A 9 by 9 RGB matrix under the surface shows where you are, and other modes turn it into a touch faderbank whose positions follow the session back, a gesture pad or a plain trackpad. It works on its own as a class-compliant USB-C MIDI controller or clips magnetically to other Grid modules, and is set up in the browser-based HANGAR app or scripted in Lua. On pre-order from 2 October 2026 at $199 for the first batch ($239 after), shipping from Budapest from 1 November.
