MIXING BASICS

Before we can talk about the circuit’s design, we need to understand what a mixer does,
exactly. Thankfully, compared to other types of modules like oscillators, filters and VCAs,
mixers are pretty straightforward and simple devices.

They’ve got one basic purpose:

take multiple input signals and mix them together

.

The result should then be made available via a single output. Ideally, we’d also want to
adjust the individual volume levels for every input signal. And once that works, we’ll talk
about how we can abuse a couple of diodes to implement nice, warm distortion on a
separate output.
