Synthrotek 1U Stereo Output Mixer - DIY Build

If you are like us and have multiple modular racks in your studio, there comes a time when you end up with a row of 1U. We didn’t have one until we purchased a lunchbox case from the gang at Synthrotek.

With 44hp to spare in our 1U slots, we opted for 2 modules that will fill up the space completely and be very useful. The first module we bought was the Synthrotek 1U Stereo Output Mixer.

This module not only made sense, it was to be our go to for all audio leaving the case.

Considering we have built many modules prior, we didn’t expect to have any issues building the 1U module (PulpLogic format), so let’s get on with it.

Waveform Magazine Mewsic Box (Project 6) - DIY Build

As one dives into the modular world, you will find yourself examining or re-examining your setup almost on a daily basis. The case is one of the most important, if not THE MOST IMPORTANT piece to a modular artist. Waveform Magazine did us all a favor by putting together their new Mewsic Box. A 60HP DIY eurorack modular case that not only has style, but also functionality in more than one way. Like any project that Waveform Magazine makes, the Mewsic Box is a unique case; its functionality is more than meets the eye. 

The Waveform Magazine Mewsic Box is an all in one project and it has “optional” add-on’s that can really make this little case stand out.

For instance, how many times have you seen a case with a small plant holder built into a cable hanger? We hadn’t either and just thought this is was too badass not to check out. Another cool option is the ability to house an internal speaker so that you may use the case on the fly.

 If you purchased the Meow Mixer (see this build), you can mount it inside the case so that you don’t take up any extra precious top case space.

Waveform Magazine Meow Mixer - DIY Build

Completed Meow Mixer - Front

Every quarter we receive a new issue of our favorite magazine… Waveform. In this issue (Summer 2021 – Issue 6), a small 2HP module called the “Meow Mixer” was featured alongside a new modular case kit (aka. The Mewsic Box) as the featured project. The Meow Mixer is a 3-channel powered Eurorack module that has 3 inputs with attenuation, and 1 summed main output with an output volume control.

As with every DIY project that Waveform Magazine releases, the Meow Mixer was unique in that it could be used in conjunction with other DIY projects that Waveform released. This sounds confusing we know … but stick with us on this build and we will explain everything in detail. So, without further ado, let’s jump right into the build of the Waveform Magazine Meow Mixer!
