Overview 

The

 

Mutamix

 

is

 

a

 

mixer

 

that

 

has

 

been

 

mutated

 

to

 

offer

 

unique

 

and

 

powerful 

functionality.

 

Up

 

to

 

six

 

channels

 

of

 

audio

 

or

 

CV

 

signals

 

can

 

be

 

mixed

 

and

 

routed

 

to

 

the 

three

 

selectable

 

Bus

 

outputs.

 

Channels

 

can

 

be

 

muted

 

or

 

soloed

 

using

 

buttons,

 

but

 

also 

muted

 

using

 

trigger

 

or

 

gate

 

signals.

 

Muting

 

arrangements

 

can

 

be

 

saved

 

as

 

presets

 

for 

quick

 

recall,

 

and

 

in

 

X-Mode

 

these

 

presets

 

can

 

be

 

step

 

sequenced

 

and

 

randomized

 

to 

inject

 

life

 

into

 

your

 

patches. 

 
Jumpers

 

on

 

the

 

back

 

allow

 

the

 

Mutamix

 

faders

 

to

 

send

 

a

 

five

 

volt

 

range

 

while

 

an

 

input

 

is 

not

 

connected,

 

creating

 

step

 

sequencing

 

functionality

 

while

 

in

 

X-Mode.

 

A

 

Linix

 

module 

can

 

also

 

be

 

connected

 

using

 

a

 

ribbon

 

cable

 

to

 

normal

 

the

 

two

 

together. 

 
This

 

flexible

 

configuration

 

means

 

that

 

the

 

Mutamix

 

can

 

function

 

as

 

an

 

audio

 

and

 

CV 

mixer,

 

sequential

 

switcher,

 

voice

 

allocator,

 

step

 

sequencer,

 

and

 

complex

 

modulation 

distributor. 

Features 

Six

 

channel

 

CV/audio

 

mixer

 

with

 

LED

 

faders

 

to

 

set

 

input

 

levels,

 

mute/solo

 

buttons,

 

and 

three

 

selectable

 

Bus

 

Outputs. 

Preset

 

saving

 

and

 

loading

 

of

 

mute

 

arrangements. 

X-Mode

 

allows

 

quick

 

recall,

 

as

 

well

 

as

 

step

 

sequencing,

 

inversion,

 

and

 

randomization

 

of 

muting

 

arrangements. 

+5V

 

jumper

 

allows

 

the

 

sliders

 

to

 

send

 

a

 

five

 

volt

 

range

 

without

 

an

 

input

 

connected, 

allowing

 

the

 

Mutamix

 

to

 

function

 

as

 

a

 

step

 

sequencer. 

Attenuation

Bus

 

Outputs

 

A

 

and

 

C. 

Jumpers

 

to

 

normal

 

Linix

 

output

 

to

 

the

 

six

 

inputs.
