6x3 Performance Mixer in 12HP

Very low noise and crosstalk between channels Uses high quality Analog Devices switch ICs for mute circuit 6 DC coupled inputs (accept audio and CV) 3 BUS outputs A, B and C with Master volume control on A and C. Comes with a 12pin ribbon cable and a header for connecting to the Intellijel HexVCA. This normals the six HexVCA outputs to the inputs of the Mutagen. Each channel has the following features:

Attenuator control Slide switch to select bus output A, B or C Mute button (manually mute/unmute each track) CTL jack for external control of mute. Muting control can either by by trigger pulse (toggles the mute on/off) or gated (when gate signal is high, mute active). This is selectable via a jumper on the rear of the PCB. External mute signal can be any signal, not just square wave but must have some kind of positive rising edge (e,.g. not noise). Example Uses:

Performance mixing and jamming: Quickly mute/unmute and mix different audio parts and CV sources Experimental sequencing: feed cv pitch values, gate/clock sources and audio to the different channels and control the muting buses via gate sequencers, lfos and other CV sources for algorithmic compositions. Mixes with FX routing: Subgroup selected audio channels to one of the bus outputs and route that bus to an FX chain and then return it to adifferent channel of the Mutagen (set to a different bus output).
