Pittsburgh Modular released Okapi Mixer and Koi Buffered Splitter
Pittsburgh Modular Safari Series 6 feeds on our love of fish and vintage mixers. The 2+2 Okapi and Stereo Okapi mixers use our newly developed soft compression/saturation circuit add vibe to any mix and the Koi is a quality fish themed buffered multiple.
2+2 Okapi Mixer & Stereo Okapi Mixer
Two different versions of the same idea. The 2+2 Okapi and Stereo Okapi mixers add a vintage console vibe to sounds by using soft compression and saturation to glue the mix together.
Both modules include per channel LED monitoring and two mixing modes. Clean mode utilizes the mixing circuit of the SV-1 for a transparent mixer that works great with both audio and CV signals. Saturate mode adds soft compression and saturation to the mix. This effect can be used subtly to add vibe or pushed further to press additional harmonics out of the mix. A global mute is available on both versions of the mixer as well. The 2+2 Okapi offers a mute and phase switch for each channel. The top two channels can be split off allowing the mixer to be used as two independent mixers. This is very handy for both small and large systems. The Stereo Okapi has a pan pot for each of the four channels along with a left and right output. Perfect as an output mixer or a sub-mixer for drums.
Koi Buffered Splitter
The Koi is pretty simple but very handy. Three chained, fully buffered multiples. Each section has a dedicated LED for keeping an eye on the signals. We know you have your choice of fish themed eurorack signal splitters, but we think ours is the best.
Price
The retail price for the 2+2 Okapi and Stereo Okapi is $149 each. The retail price for the Koi is $99. Because these modules are considered experiments, production has been limited to 200 numbered 2+2 Okapi, 200 Stereo Okapi, and 200 Koi. The modules are available now through the Pittsburgh Modular web shop. More information regarding the Okapi and Koi Eurorack Modules is available at pittsburghmodular.com/safari.
