Building upon the legacy of the original 16n faderbank, the 16nx features \u003cstrong\u003esixteen 60mm faders\u003c\/strong\u003e that simultaneously transmit \u003cstrong\u003eMIDI, CV (0–5V), and I2C signals\u003c\/strong\u003e — allowing you to control everything from monome norns to eurorack modular synthesizers without switching modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe “x” denotes this as the \u003cstrong\u003esecond-generation hardware revision (Revision C)\u003c\/strong\u003e, completely redesigned for modern component availability while preserving all original functionality. It’s the missing piece for your monome ecosystem — and equally powerful as a standalone MIDI controller, CV source, or I2C device.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy did you make it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original 16n faderbank became indispensable to many electronic musicians, but its core component — the \u003cstrong\u003eTeensy 3.2 microcontroller\u003c\/strong\u003e — reached end-of-life, making new builds impossible. We created the 16nx to keep this essential instrument available to the community, using currently available, officially recommended components throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe also wanted to create a \u003cstrong\u003eunified ecosystem of monome-compatible controllers\u003c\/strong\u003e with matching 3D-printed enclosures sharing the same design language — so builders can assemble a complete, cohesive control setup that feels like a single integrated system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes it special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTriple protocol output\u003c\/strong\u003e — simultaneous MIDI, CV (0–5V), and I2C; universally compatible with digital synths, modular gear, and monome devices without switching modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRevision C hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e — redesigned with currently available, officially recommended components for future buildability and reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo fader versions\u003c\/strong\u003e — with or without injection-molded fader caps featuring center detents; the capped version is engineered for proper fader height and ergonomic use — versions are not interchangeable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — custom 3D-printed with mirror-finish metallic texture, matching our other monome controllers for a unified aesthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep norns integration\u003c\/strong\u003e — native support in several norns scripts; easy MIDI mapping for unsupported applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen-source design\u003c\/strong\u003e — official configuration software for easy customization and mapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1-year warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e — with paid enclosure refurbishment service available for long-term ownership\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoard Revision C (latest hardware revision)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 × 60mm high-quality faders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimultaneous MIDI, CV (0–5V), and I2C output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D-printed metallic finish enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInjection-molded fader caps with center detent (capped version only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially recommended components throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eExternal Links\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/denjhang\/16nx\"\u003eGitHub: denjhang\/16nx\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/16n-faderbank.github.io\/16nx.html\"\u003eOfficial 16nx Documentation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Denjhang's Retro Hardware","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46123575083205,"sku":null,"price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/8507\/1813\/files\/2025-12-25T04_35_26_142Z-O1CN01O3sMHo1I7WAJB1QbR__4611686018427386670-0-fleamarket_jpg_Q90_jpg.jpg?v=1777006379","url":"https:\/\/denjhang.com\/products\/monome-16nx-faderbank-controller","provider":"Denjhang's Retro Hardware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
