16n faderbank projectControllers
Open 16-fader MIDI / CV / i2c controller (Teensy 16n, RP2040 16nx)
The 16n is an open-source controller with sixteen faders, built around a Teensy 3.2 and sending MIDI over USB and a TRS MIDI jack, plus monome-style i2c for modules such as Teletype. The 16nx is the later revision, built on an RP2040 microcontroller with its own firmware repository. Both are published as open hardware and are usually built from the project's files or from kits.
16n is a monome-lineage open-hardware faderbank that sends USB and TRS MIDI, CV and monome-style i2c to Teletype, ansible and similar modules. Firmware is MIT and hardware is CC-BY-SA-4.0. The original Teensy 16n and the RP2040 16nx have separate firmware repositories and are configured with the same browser editor.
RP2040 firmware for next-generation faderbanks such as the 16nx: class-compliant USB MIDI, TRS MIDI type A or B, monome-style i2c and sixteen CV outputs, written in the Pico SDK and configured in the web editor.
Teensy firmware for the original 16n faderbank: sixteen CCs over USB and TRS MIDI, sixteen CV outputs and monome-style i2c, with 14-bit MIDI support since 2.2.0.
Web-based SvelteKit editor for configuring 16n-family and 8mu controllers from the browser: channels, MIDI and i2c behaviour, and 14-bit mode where the firmware supports it.
