The NANO Modules ALT is a seriously useful little VCA/mixer for Eurorack. It's a great entry point for those wanting to experiment with gain staging and CV modulation, and the normalization features make it incredibly convenient for basic mixing tasks. Ideal for beginners and experienced modular users alike looking for a compact, affordable solution.
Product Description
- NANO Modules ALT
- Eurorack Module
- 4-Channel VCA and mixer
- Clear and discolouration-free signal quality
- Suitable for audio and CV signals
- Channel 1-3 with gain control and CV attenuator
- Channel 4 CV input normalised to +5V when socket is not assigned (VCA open)
- VCA outputs 1-3 normalised to output 4 for use as mixer
- Current consumption: 58 mA (+12 V) / 31 mA (-12 V)
- Width: 8 HP
- Depth: 15 mm
PROS
- • Excellent signal clarity avoids muddiness in complex patches
- • Gain control on first three channels offers useful signal shaping
- • Normalization simplifies mixing workflows and reduces patching
- • Compact 8HP footprint saves valuable space in tight racks
CONS
- • Channel 4's fixed +5V CV normalization can be limiting
- • Limited gain range on channels 1-3 restricts extreme attenuation
- • Plastic case feels a bit budget-oriented compared to metal alternatives

Frequently Asked Questions
It's surprisingly good – very clean and transparent, though it lacks the extreme precision and ultra-low noise of top-tier options.
It’s a design choice to simplify patching; you can work around it with a simple attenuator or offset generator if needed, but it's worth considering.
While it’s designed for both, using it for audio attenuation can introduce a slight loss of headroom – it's best suited for CV, but can handle audio in a pinch.
