“Mixing might be more of a utility function in a modular synthesiser – but this doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be dull and boring,” Erica Synths said.
“Case in point: this super simple three-channel mixer with built-in diode distortion will make your patches sound delightfully rough.”
The Mixer is the sixth of nine kits to be released with future releases including a wavefolder, a noise/S&H module, and an output stereo mixer with a headphone amplifier.
Users will be given four to six weeks between module releases to give them a chance to build each one as the intention is to “teach people with little-to-no prior experience how to design analogue synthesiser circuits from scratch”.
Erica Synths said “what you’ll find in the box is not simply meant to be soldered together and then disappear in your rack”.
“Instead, we want to take you through the circuit design process step by step, explaining every choice we’ve made and how it impacts the finished module,” they said.
Each kit will also include a build manual, covering both the fundamentals of synthesis as well as how the electronics in each module work.
Additionally, an affordable eurorack case with a DIY PSU will also be available.
“While these kits are easy to build, we did not compromise on design and functionality,” they said.
