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…

Yes, mines marked Mix800. Like this one Mix800

Theres some on ebay too.

Yep I have the Rockville one.

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!
:slight_smile:
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.

Yeah, at that point it starts getting real fiddly, expensive, and space-consuming.

That looks really interesting and compact. Shame it’s not TRS for even more compactness though.

Also weird to have the biggest knob be a crossfade, but that’s more with intended use cases of crossfading between two sources.

I also made this small passive stereo mixer for a performance that should have happened a month ago.

It’s two stereo inputs or four mono (normalled so I can plug TRS cables), 1st and 3rd channels are hard-panned left, 2nd and 4th hard-right.

I wanted to control the volumes of each channel of two stereo Ciat Lonbarde instruments (Dogslit and Fourses Tarp) before they go into my norns and Otis.

It works well but being passive I’m losing too much signal, plan is to make another active one but keeping it as small as possible (main trouble is the size of a DC socket).
I’m thinking of making a PCB for this as i’m in the process of learning Kicad, will probably add a way to switch the output to mono too. :slight_smile:

Hi Freeways, what’s your take on them ? Good, average or…?

#1361

Hi Glitcher, I would say it’s a pretty average mixer. Since there isn’t a preamp I have to crank the input volume all the way up, and depending on the source, the sound isn’t always loud enough still. I’ve read some reviews that say it’s noisy and/or picks up radio frequencies, but I haven’t had either of those problems.

I hope you get one of the good ones!

Thanks. Will see how it goes. Looks easy enough to take apart and maybe reflow some solder joints. I bet the enclosure has lots of room inside to be honest or hot glue :slight_smile:

This could be a great mono euro mixer, not sure what kind of levels it’s expecting on the input, though…

B just put out a surprisingly minimal mixer.

Wonder if the “EZ Gain” will handle Euro-level signals.

#1368

Just attenuate on the way out of your Euro system. Easy.

#1369

This beauty is up for sale in germany… wish I had the money.
If minimalism is not about size, I would say this fits in here.
