Cre8audio Reveals Assembler: Vintage Analog Audio Mixer For Modern Synth Enthusiast
Today, Cre8audio also releases Assembler, a synth-focused analog audio mixer designed to deliver vintage console sound with intuitive hands-on control.

The official Assembler intro video:
Vintage Sound, Modern Control. Inspired by the iconic consoles that defined decades of music production, Assembler brings the same 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 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 easily 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.
Professional Analog Sound at an Accessible Price. Unlike many other Eurorack mixers, Assembler eliminates unnecessary complexity to focus on superior audio quality, reliability, and user-friendly design. Offering professional-grade sound at a highly competitive price, it stands out as a must-have tool for electronic musicians, live performers, and studio producers alike.
For those who push sonic boundaries, Assembler even self-oscillates, making it a powerful tool for noise artists and experimental musicians.
Cre8audio Assembler is available for preorder now, and is expected to ship to customers mid–May 2025. Street pricing is projected to be $399.99/€319.98. For more information, visit the Cre8Audio website.
