Aikido VCA mixer
Aikido is a performative quad VCA mixer with flexible submix routing and two styles of integrated envelope followers. Clever normalization allows ready-to-go sidechain compression, expansion, and rapid routing experimentation.
Clickless mute switches and level faders make for immediate performability, while dedicated attenuverters on each channel make Aikido a powerful and flexible quad VCA.
The main mix output is accompanied by individual VCA outputs with patch-programmable cascading mix routing.
The Side Chain envelope follower offers 3 different response curves, while the Spectral Follower can be set to focus on treble, mid or bass frequencies.
General features:
4 VCA channels, each with: — clickless mute with light indication — level fader with 6dB boost — CV input with attenuverter — input (DC coupled) — output (DC coupled) cascaded mixing
Mix output (AC coupled)
Side chain envelope follower — input (normalized to A input) — output (normalized to CV inputs) — switch to select response time
Spectral envelope follower — input taken from Channel D output — patchable output — switch to focus the follower to low, mid, or high frequencies
Backside jumpers — select whether direct VCA outputs are pre/post Mute — cascaded mixing input and output (joins 2 Aikidos to 8 channel mixer) — main mix input and output (for chaining the normalized MIX outputs), chainable with BUDDY
