Vostok Instruments Ceres
Six-channel linear 3360 VCA mixer in 10 HP.
10 HP Eurorack module
Ceres packs six low-noise analog VCAs around the classic 3360 core into 10 HP. Each channel has a signal input (daisy-chained), a unipolar CV input (5 V = unity gain), a Level pot, and an individual output, with a built-in mix-down: every channel whose Out jack is unpatched sums to channel 6's output. The Level knob doubles as a CV attenuator when CV is patched, or as a plain volume when there's no CV — making Ceres equally useful as a six-stem mixer, a poly-VCA, or a CV-controlled stereo mix bus.
Features
- Six low-noise analog VCAs in 10 HP
- 3360-core VCA chip with precise linear response
- 5 V CV = unity gain
- Daisy-chained signal inputs — one source feeds all empty channels
- Built-in mix-down — all channels sum at channel 6's output unless individually extracted
- Level pot behaves as a CV attenuator when CV is present, manual volume when CV is absent
- Per-channel output LED indicators
- 100 kΩ input impedance, 1 kΩ output impedance
- 30 mm skiff-friendly depth
- Low power: 50 mA / 50 mA at +12V / -12V
