Details
The MX61 is a 6 input unity gain mixer. It can mix audio, control voltages and gates. It allows
you to bring many signal source together to be sent to another module, such as several VCOs
into one filter, or to be used to mix audio sources and bring them together to an external recording
device or mixing desk. It has 2 outputs, a normal (positive) output, and an inverted output.
Use
Audio Mixer
Use this to mix audio in instances where you have many sources you wish to mix to one mono
channel, e.g. several percussion modules. When mixing audio use the normal output. It would not
usually be a problem to use the inverted output - but watch it does not cause signal cancellation!
CV Mixer
Several CV sources can be mixed to make a more complex control signal. E.g. mix an LFO
with an envelope signal.
Inverter
When the inverted output is used, the signal is inverted so it becomes a negative signal (or a
negative signal becomes positive). For example, put 5V through, and you get -5V out. An example
of a useful application of this is to create auto-pan. Feed an LFO into the mixer. Take the normal
output to 1 VCA, and the inverted output to another VCA. Pan the 2 VCAs hard left and right. Feed
the same signal into both VCAs and it will pan between the speakers!
Gate Mixer
By taking different Gate outputs from a pair of SQ8 sequencers and mixing them with the MX61,
new step patterns can be created.
The MX61 has a -10 to +10V range.
