Details
The MX224 is a 2 input mixer/inverter/buffer. It can mix audio, control voltages and gates with
multiple normal and inverted outputs. Ideal for splitting signals with no signal drop.
Use
Audio Mixer
Use this as a simple 2 input audio mixer.
CV Mixer
Two CV sources can be mixed to make a more complex control signal. E.g. mix an LFO with an
envelope signal.
Buffer
When a signal is continually split, like with a multiple, the signal level can drop. A buffer is a device
that will maintain the voltage so no drop is seen at the output.
Inverter
When the inverted output is used, the signal is inverted (polarity 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 ap pli ca tion 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!
The MX224 has a -10 to +10V range.
