Portland, OR, USA January 31, 2023 – AI Synthesis has released the AI106 West Coast Mixer in both a built and guaranteed version, as well as in kit and PCB/Panel format.
The AI106 West Coast Mixer is a discreet mixer using no ICs. As gain increases harmonics and analog warmth are added. The AI106 takes inspiration from the mixers in 1960s West Coast Modular systems, but updates it for eurorack and allows for user customization of the circuit. New, Old, and mismatched NPN transistors can be substituted to change the character of the mixer.True to original spirit, the output is inverted.
It comes in both Silver Aluminum versions and Black PCB FR4 versions.
Depth: 22mm
HP: 6
-V mA: 0
+V mA: 12mA
“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.
