As February came around, we were pondering Eurorack mixing and how to achieve the best possible mix of either CV (control voltage) or audio. We had always used mixers outside of the racks, but we wanted something more portable.

The gang over at Synthrotek had just the released their first SMD module and it was right up our alley. The 4HP MIXIV by Synthrotek is in its simplest form is DC coupled and can mix audio and CV signals with the quick slider of a knob.

Prior to the MIXIV (pronounced Mix 4) build, we wanted to get the close up view and picked up a digital microscope in order to “see” what we were doing more precisely. This also gave us the chance to record some sweet videos to post in our time lapse build. You can check it out down below.
