| VOSTOK Hive |
At first glance, Hive might look like a straightforward four-channel stereo(!) mixer with CV-controlled panning, but as we’ve come to expect from VOSTOK, there are plenty of smart twists hiding inside.
Each channel can boost incoming signals, making it simple to balance different modules, or even bring your desktop synths and drum machines into the Eurorack world without extra gear.
Hive uses a custom panning law with a gentle -1.5 dB dip at center, ensuring that stereo movements feel natural and musical, whether you’re tweaking by hand or modulating with CV.
Hive modules can also be daisy-chained at the back, letting you build out larger mixers or submixers without taking up tons of rack space.
All of this is packed into a sleek 10HP design, making Hive just as at home as your end-of-chain stereo mixer, FX submixer, or even a creative stereo mangler.
It’s compact, it’s clever, and it’s ready to bring some serious buzz to your rack.

In this video I explore how submixers can transform and deepen your sound.
Using Hive as the central tool, I’ll show you:
🎛️ How to blend multiple waveforms — including stereo signals — from a single oscillator to create epic build-ups.
🎹 How to build a polyphonic synth setup while keeping just one clean stereo signal for your mixer.
🎚️ How to use Hive as an extra effect send for greater control and creative routing.
🎶 How to manage a full four-voice synthesizer with only one stereo output.
🌌 How to shape a wide, immersive stereo field with CV-controllable stereo panning.
Whether you’re looking to streamline your setup or unlock new sonic possibilities, submixers can show just how powerful this approach is in a modular system. If you enjoy the video, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share — it helps me make more music-first Eurorack content."

" Here’s the new 10HP stereo Eurorack mixer ‘Hive’ from Vostok Instruments and with the opportunity to make a demo of it I ran with the idea of showing a series of patching making the most of basic features, how to patch them for more advanced exciting things and bringing larger, layered patches and mixes together in the modular format. It's packed full of tips, give them a go."
