Something to be aware of........ When the Mixer is is dual 3:1 mode, each set of pots is set for full dynamic range. That is to say, if you have 3 full-scale inputs (-5V to +5V) the output with all pots on 11...err...10 is -5V to +5V. So, the 'channel gain" is 0.333 But, what happens in 6:1 mode? On the 'log pot' side, the output is summed into the second mixer with a 1/2 scale factor. So, for the "audio" side, the channel gain is 1/6 (0.166666). So: in 6:1 mode the 3 log pot channels are 'full range', 0-10 for their gain ranges. the 3 linear pots are at 1/3 channel gain, so they are more sensitive and cranking all 6 pots to max will cause the output to be +7.5V to -7.5V pk-pk. Now, this is *not* going to "blow stuff up" or such. This is just the MAXIMUM CV range for MOTM modules. Look in the back of the manuals, I spec -7V to +7V control voltage range. So, in this manner of compromise, we trade off knob 'sensitivity' in 3 channels to get max range in the other 3 AND still keep the overall output at the max spec limit. Paul S.
