Discover new sonic dimensions with the BASTL Instruments Aikido, a versatile addition to your modular synthesizer setup. This Quad VCA and mixer module offers an intuitive interface that invites experimentation with its four identical VCA channels, each equipped with level control, mute switch, CV input, and signal input/output. Designed for both creative and technical flexibility, the Aikido excels in dynamic sound shaping, making it a go-to choice for musicians who crave precision and expressiveness.

The Aikido goes beyond the ordinary with its side chain envelope follower, normalized to input A, providing three selectable response times for nuanced modulation. Whether crafting subtle textures or bold shifts, the spectral envelope follower, normalized to output D, offers three selectable frequency ranges, allowing you to capture and sculpt the perfect sound.

Ideal for both studio and live environments, the sum output and separate outputs for envelope followers expand your routing possibilities, giving you the power to create rich, layered soundscapes with ease. With its efficient power consumption of 120mA (+12V) / 120mA (-12V), the Aikido is a reliable workhorse that fits seamlessly into your Eurorack setup.
