Intellijel Planar 2 Joystick Vector Mixer + Quad Panner

The Planar 2 is an enhanced and overhauled version of Intellijel's ever-popular vector joystick module. Like the original, it offers intuitive joystick-controlled three-dimensional mixing of up to four CV or audio inputs, making it an ideal hub for a complex feedback patch or as a quadraphonic panner.

Planar 2, however, offers huge improvements over the original! The all-new motion record feature allows a user to repeatedly loop or trigger gestures up to 30 seconds in duration, allowing for use as a complex LFO, envelope, and more. It also features all-new CV control modes which emulate circular motions and allow a user to scan through segments of recorded CV, as well as an added ABCD CV mode which provides a different response from the traditional X/Y mode. In a mere 14 hp, the Planar 2 can open up entirely new dimensions of patching, routing, and CV mixing!

Planar 2 Features

  • Vector mixing of up to four CV or audio inputs
  • Outputs provide joystick-controlled voltage offsets when unpatched
  • X and Y outputs with uni/bipolar switching
  • Gate output when manually triggered or when joystick is in motion
  • Play/record enable CV input
  • Manual motion play and record buttons
  • Up to 30 seconds of motion recording
  • One-shot and looping motion playback modes
  • Two CV inputs with attenuverters and mode switching between A-D and X/Y control
  • Eurorack module
  • Width: 14 hp
  • Depth: 40mm
  • Current Draw: 85mA @ +12V, 32mA @ -12V

Intellijel Planar 2 Eurorack Joystick Controller
The Intellijel Planar 2 is an update of the Planar joystick controller with added recording functions to record your joystick movements and trigger button pushes, the recording can be played back in a loop or triggered as a one shot. The planar outputs 6 CVs and a gate, and can also be used to mix four signals to one or one signal to four. We also used the Morgasmatron filter in this video.
Getting to Know Planar 2 - Part 1
In this video we start to get to know Planar 2. We check out its controls, inputs and outputs in order to explore some of the possibilities of this versatile module.

With its smoothly responsive precision joystick, Planar 2 facilitates hands-on vector control of two entirely independent sets of outputs (quadrants A-D, and axis X/Y), plus the ability to capture and playback your gestures. Recording your joystick movements enables the creation of organic and complex envelopes, wild and wobbly LFOs, or extended sonic evolutions. It mixes, morphs, routes and pans audio inputs; triggers gates; outputs control voltages and is itself, CV-controllable. Planar2 puts the ‘joy’ back in ‘joystick,’ and the ‘fun’ back in ‘function generator.’ Its multitasking and tactile interface makes it a flexible and unique control device, no matter what your musical genre.
