Not really. The 256e allows for many different transformations of a  
CV, but mixing isn't its strong suit. It can mix two sources but I  
don't think that it can mix at full scale (the inputs are scaled  
somewhat when the xfade knob is in the middle). It can invert, scale  
and can act like a crossfader/VCA on a control signal. It's handy, for  
sure.

Yes, the 210e can mix any proportion of its inputs to any of its  
outputs.

Not a video, but many of my drones involve using controller Buss J-P  
on the 225e and a custom program to create arbitrary shapes for slow  
"LFO's". A good example is BattleDrone, found on the bottom of http://www.xfade.com/Buchla 
  It has many different shapes and lengths of cycle. 17YearGuest and,  
to a lesser extent, VoxGong also illustrate this. From my B-Sides page http://xfade.com/Buchla/B_Sides.html 
  Drrrrone uses this technique.

I also use a little DJ control surface to send knobs and switches to  
the 225e.
