Hi!
After the interest shown for some of my mixery creations, I though I’d make a separate post to show some of my latest creations and to talk more generally about matrix mixing, usage ideas, interface design, and signal freedom philosophy.
Let’s start with that last one, then!
Here some pictures!
The idea behind this unit is to have both a “regular” mixer and a matrix, so you can use it as your main and only mixer for performing and recording.
The left part is the “regular” side, inputs with various types of buffered connectors, a Pluck’n’Duck VCA for each channel (works with audio and CV as control, and can act as a regular VCA or a side-chained compressor).
Then a global gain control (+/-14dB), 4 AUX sends, PFL, mute and a 7.5mm master fader.
In the right section things become more interesting, this is the AUX matrix, here you can basically route any signal to any effect in any order and amount, all without disconnecting anything. Of course you can also generate feedback (the “feedback path” is marked by the white knobs here) And if you keep all the knobs in the aux matrix down, you can still use the aux send-return as if it were a normal mixer.
I’d be happy to answer any question and talk about ideas, and maybe also post more matrix mixers here!
