AI Synthesis Announces the AI028 Voltage Controlled Matrix Mixer

Hello, some exciting synth news for you:

For Release not before 1/28/2025 Noon Pacific Time

Portland, OR, USA January 28, 2025 – AI Synthesis has announced the AI028 Voltage Controlled Matrix Mixer (link to be published on 1/28).

The AI028 uses the new SSI2190 PROCIRCUIT™ 6-INTO-1 VOLTAGE CONTROLLED MIXER* ICs to create a 6 in, 6 out Voltage Controlled Matrix Mixer. Each column of jack nodes is a VCA input that will amplify the input from the left to the output on the bottom from silent 0V to full unity volume at 5V. The inputs and VCA circuits will accept Audio and CV signals. For those who want to manually control voltage, a 5V output is present in the lower left that, with a passive attenuator, can be used to manually control the volume of a node. While currently in manufacture, due to the Lunar New Year, it is temporarily on hold and is expected to ship in February or March. Presales are now open on https://aisynthesis.com/product/ai028-voltage-controlled-matrix-mixer and will be shipped on a first come/first served basis.

“In the year 2000, I was in college and obsessed with modular synths, but could barely afford to eat. I knew it was possible to build your own synth, but there wasn’t anyone, or anywhere to turn to for advice. In the past decade, much more information has been published online, and in 2013 I started down my path to DIY modular. Even with all of the information online, there still lacked a single, simple, comprehensive guide for those looking to build their own synthesizer. I want AI Synthesis to be that guide. Prior to building my own synth, I was a dreamer, after building my modular, I felt I had awoken. I want to help others do the same.”

In addition to providing step by step build instructions, schematics, and circuit explanations, the site also includes a guide for getting started in modular synthesis, and a series of DIY Guides, with information regarding how Resistors actually work, and how to integrate a $26 scope into your Eurorack system.
