> From: "Paul Schreiber" <synth1@...> > That makes TWO of us!! Well, If I have this right this is supposed to be a "utility" mixer. Right? So, if I have this right (and correct me if I am wrong) it is supposed to serve two basic purposes - 1. mix two or more DCs into a single output, and 2 - mix 2 or more AC signals into a signal output. so, this would be good for mixing two or three oscillators for a single voice into one filter (use 2). Or, mixing another DC for controlling the osc or other module if the modules inputs were not enough. So, even though we could think of 1000 features this little mixer out to have, I think the one thing we (most) agree on is that it should function as 6-in, 1-out or 3-in, 2-out, and should work AC or DC. As long as it does those things, it will meet the basic criteria. In my limited way of thinking it would be nice to have the ability to use one for DC and one for AC at the same time. Whether we switch between 3:2 and 6:1 modes with a switching jack or switch is secondary. And quite frankly, unless I am missing the obvious, "would one absolutely require a master output control?" I really don't like the idea of a dual master that controls both sides because you might have separate uses. So, here's another idea to kick around: In 6:1 mode you have a single master. In 3:2 mode, you have one of the 3:1's with a master and one of the 3:1's without a master. That way MOTM rules are not violated by non functional knobs. And, when the mixers are separate, you have one of each kind - with and without master. Now, you are back down to 7 knobs which should leave room for everything else (including the switch to go from 6:1 to 3:2).
