The AI002 DIY Mixer Kit is an active signal mixer. This DIY Synthesizer Mixer Module can operate on +/- 12 or +/- 15 volts with no adjustments. This mixer is a DC mixer, meaning it can be used to combine audio and/or cv signals. ThisDIY Synthesizer Mixer Module can be used to feed multiple oscillators into a filter, or to feed multiple cv sources into, for instance, the cv in of a filter.
The circuit itself is quite simple and uses two Operational amplifiers in a unity gain inverting configuration. The P1-3 pots attenuate the input signal then feed it through 100k resistors for protection into the first op-amp, which mixes the signal. The 4th pot controls feedback into the op-amp, in order to control the master output of the mixed signal. The output is then inverted. The second op-amp is a simple inverter, that then provides a non-inverted output. In audio mixing, an inverted signal is essentially irrelevant, but for CV, you typically want a non-inverted signal. Otherwise, your envelope will be inverted.
