Mackies roll off the top end you lose a lot of the Ultrasound high frees, mine sits in a box and never gets used.

wow, this is great to know - i was about to grab a mackie but i’ll be putting plumbutter through it and can’t lose those ultrasounds. what affordable mixers don’t do this?

I’d like to know this too, I just go straight into RME soundcard currently.

Out of curiosity, what do you do with the Ultrasdounds? Is it so you can pitch things down and get those into the audible spectrum? Though I guess most converters will also roll off the top end, don’t they?

I got a bit obsessed getting the noise out of Ultrasounds when the Rollz are destabilised, like when using a Rollz5 or I imagine Rolzer. I noticed when going in to a Mackie I lost loads of the really high end frequencies. They are kind of there but mushy and in the background.


Got one of these on the way. With 8 mono inputs or 4 stereo it may be a cheap and cheerful way of enjoying a small army of desktop synths, noise boxes, cassette player and so on.

Two years later update. The Bastl Dude is too small for its own good. I can’t find it anywhere.

I wanted a few matrix mixers so knocked this up - active, 14hp, switches select bipolar controls (ie choose if knobs are attenuators or attenuverters) for all controls in the column, norm selects normalisation of 10v or 5v to input 4 which is selectable via a jumper on the back, 0603 smt pcb parallel to panel. The vertical spacing makes it easy to use the knobs or just use smaller knobs (eg the befaco ones) - but this works for me…

Looks like they are sold under a few names:

i’d get one of these…

it has inputs just ready for Ciat-Lonbarde noiz gear and apparently it can handle direct input from modular synths modules with no need to step them down to line level!

it records to!

Yeah, it does look like a great feature set

Not crazy about the kind of touch-based interface (like mid-jamming, every time you wanna massage levels, menu diving a bit and looking at the screen to adjust).

Definitely of interest though!

Looks like it is MIDI controllable though. Just add a faderbox? But yeah, maybe that would be too fiddly.

Looking for a small stereo mixer to put in front of my norns, I found this newly released “module” by ST MODULAR : Mixbench.

Its a standalone device that can mix 3 stereo signals, mute switches and tilt EQ for two of them, includes an HP filter and rotary fader for mixing A/B channels, plus it’s usb powered, seems like a really nice solution to mix stereo instruments into norns (thinking about CL stuff etc.), just wish the filter was schitbable between LP and HP.
