"This is a homebrew from kit Paia 9710 mixer with noise source and envelope generator. It is encased in a standalone yellow box in the spirit of early Metasonix pedals.. The case also has the PAIA power supply board to power the envlope generator board.

[manufacturers description]

The PAiA 9710 is a versatile module that combines three VCAs, a white noise source, and a full-function ADSR envelope generator. It allows for mixing signals before processing with the VCA, making it a compact solution for various sound design needs.

The PAiA 9710 is a multifunctional module designed for sound synthesis, combining several key features that enhance its versatility in music production.

Key FeaturesFeatureDescription

VCAsIncludes three Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCAs) for dynamic sound manipulation.

White Noise SourceProvides a built-in white noise generator for additional sound textures.

ADSR Envelope GeneratorFull-function ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) with adjustable parameters for shaping sound.

Mixing CapabilityAllows mixing of multiple signals before processing through the VCA, streamlining setup.ADSR Specifications

Attack Time: Adjustable from 500 microseconds to 5 seconds.
Decay Time: Ranges from 2 milliseconds to 7 seconds.
Sustain Level: Adjustable from 0 to 10 volts.
Release Time: Adjustable from 2 milliseconds to 7 seconds.
Trigger and Gate Inputs: Separate inputs for re-triggering the envelope.
Cycle Switch: Enables self-triggering for Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) functionality.


The PAiA 9710 is ideal for musicians and sound designers looking for a compact and efficient solution for creating complex sounds and effects. Its combination of VCAs, noise generation, and a comprehensive ADSR envelope makes it a valuable tool in any modular synthesizer setup.

The envelop can self cycling (always on) or activated by trigger or gate voltage pulses."
