What about volume? Do you handle all that manually?

Wow. Incredible esthetic, and given that it is Telefunken, it likely sounds amazing too!

Yup, mixers and attenuators. But I’m a bit of a weirdo.

I use combinations of things, including a final mixer to manage all the voices.

I don’t use a lot of traditional signal paths, and lots of my vcas don’t have attenuators so even using them with an envelope doesn’t really give me final level control.

I do agree that we don’t need to clutter up this consuls concept, there are lots of ways to control level at different points.

Goes well with the vintage mixer though,
Love to no if anybody knows a power supply that works with this guy

My bandmate built one and brought it to our practice session. It’s really neat, I like the inserts and the channel link feature. A button or a switch to assign the channel to only one of the outs would be great though.

Some informations are left unspecified on their website, maybe you know the answers:
are the inputs stereo or mono ? and what about those outs A and B ? is it like A = left channel and B = right channel so one can either have a stereo master or use hard pans to get two independent outs ?

Yeah everything’s mono. But the build instructions might have some alternatives for the master outs, perhaps that’s why they are labelled a and b instead of l and r, my mate said he would check the specs and get back to me.

I kind of with there was a send/return instead of an insert. An insert seems a little pointless since it’s all just 3.5mm jacks anyway. The only time I ever use inserts is on XLR channels on my larger mixer to go out to studio rack effects.

Looks like I need to read this thread :frowning: my tapco mixer has just died. I will be operating on it tonight, hopefully I can ressurect it.

I’m really liking my Mackie 1202, but I feel like I need maybe 1/3 of what it does. I will continue to wish there were something smaller that could manage two send/returns. And mono is fine by me, even though I’d eventually grow out of it, I imagine.

Yeah, perhaps it’s most useful if treated it as a mono mixer and the pan knob as the effect send, sacrificing one of the channels for effects return. Btw the main outs have stereo plugs, and can be modded to output the mono signal on both channels (for a “stereo” monitor mix, for example).

Perhaps the inserts make more sense with the channel link feature (create an effected version of the signal on the adjacent channel).

I saw this for sale in Berlin. Maybe it’s interesting for some of you:
