Press release follows:
April 8, 2025 – Cre8audio, proudly introduces Assembler, a synth-focused analog audio mixer designed to deliver unmatched vintage console sound with intuitive hands-on control. Developed in collaboration with the renowned Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers, Assembler fuses the warmth of classic analog mixers with a modern workflow tailored for contemporary electronic artists, plus a few other fantastic sound sculpting tools.
Vintage Sound, Modern Control
Inspired by the iconic consoles that defined decades of music production, Assembler brings the same sought-after warmth, character, and tonal shaping to today’s producers and performers. Featuring custom-designed Pittsburgh Modular analog circuitry, the mixer utilizes signal contouring and soft compression to unify the overall mix. This process emulates the beloved sonic characteristics of vintage recordings, offering a rich and cohesive sound.
Comprehensive Mixing Power
With ten audio inputs split into three distinct channel types, Assembler seamlessly integrates into any live or studio setup. Key features include:
Powerful preamps with up to 20x gain boost for line-level signals, clarity enhancement, or saturation.
Vintage tape saturation style contouring and soft compression on all channels and auxes
Three assignable aux sends for external effects and sub-mixing.
Detailed monitoring and performance flexibility with Three-segment LED meters, independent headphone Cue, and channel Mutes
Vintage-inspired high and low EQ with ±15 dB boost or cut on channels 1 and 2.
Six mono inputs with dedicated pan controls.
Two stereo inputs
Universal compatibility with Eurorack and line-level instruments.
Unmatched Auxiliary Flexibility
Assembler’s three aux sends provide extensive creative routing options. Two stereo returns and one mono return—each with independent gain adjustments up to 2.7x—enable professional-grade signal blending and effect integration, an essential tool for sound sculpting and performance.
Designed for Seamless Integration
Prioritizing ease of use, Assembler features a one-knob-per-function layout for frustration-free mixing. Whether adjusting EQ, aux routing, panning, or levels, every function is instantly accessible. The mixer is equally suited for line-level instruments and Eurorack signals, making it a versatile choice for any setup. A dedicated headphone output with a separate cue mix ensures precise monitoring, crucial for live performances.
