Instructions 

While

 

in

 

Mutamix’s

 

default

 

​​

Main

 

Mode

,

 

it

 

functions

 

as

 

an

 

audio

 

and

 

CV

 

mixer.

 

It

 

can

 

even

 

be 

used

 

to

 

process

 

both

 

types

 

of

 

signal

 

simultaneously

 

due

 

to

 

the

 

flexible

 

bus

 

routing

 

architecture. 

Simply

 

plug

 

your

 

signals

 

into

 

the

 

inputs,

 

select

 

an

 

​​

OUTPUT

 

BUS

​​

 

using

 

the

 

switches

 

at

 

the 

bottom

 

of

 

each

 

channel,

 

and

 

make

 

the

 

necessary

 

connections,

 

then

 

adjust

 

your

 

fader

 

levels

 

as 

desired. 
 
Channels

 

can

 

be

 

muted

 

by

 

pressing

 

their

 

associated

 

buttons

 

at

 

the

 

top,

 

or

 

soloed

 

by

 

double 

pressing.

 

Arrangements

 

of

 

mutes

 

can

 

be

 

saved

 

by

 

holding

 

the

 

​​

SAVE

​​

 

button

 

for

 

approximately

 

second,

 

until

 

the

​​

 

​​

X-MODE

 

LED

 

flashes,

 

and

 

then

 

pressing

 

the

 

button

 

where

 

you

 

want

 

to

 

save 

this

 

arrangement

 

as

 

a

 

preset.

 

These

 

arrangements

 

can

 

then

 

be

 

loaded

 

by

 

holding

 

the

 

LOAD 

button

 

for

 

approximately

 

one

 

second

 

and

 

then

 

pressing

 

the

 

button

 

with

 

the

 

desired

 

preset. 

These

 

presets

 

can

 

be

 

saved

 

to

 

EEPROM

 

for

 

recall

 

after

 

power

 

cycling

 

by

 

holding

 

the

 

​​

SAVE

 

button

 

for

 

a

 

few

 

seconds,

 

until

 

it

 

flashes

 

rapidly. 

 
The

 

​​

MUTE

 

CTRL/X-MODE

 

FUNCTIONS

​​

 

inputs

 

will

 

mute

 

channels

 

when

 

they

 

receive

 

a

 

gate

 

or 

trigger

 

signal.

 

Their

 

behaviour

 

will

 

depend

 

on

 

the

 

​​

GATE/PULSE

​​

 

settings.

 

Pressing

 

and

 

holding 

the

 

​​

GATE

​​

 

or

 

​​

PULSE

 

​​

buttons

 

will

 

cause

 

the

 

channel

 

fader

 

LEDs

 

to

 

light

 

up

 

if

 

they

 

are

 

in

 

the 

selected

 

mode.

 

For

 

example

 

if

 

you

 

hold

 

the

 

​​

GATE

​​

 

button,

 

the

 

channels

 

set

 

to

 

​​

GATE

​​

 

mode

 

will 

light

 

up.  

 
Channels

 

in

 

​​

GATE

​​

 

mode

 

will

 

mute

 

while

 

the

 

signal

 

on

 

their

 

respective

 

input

 

is

 

high.

 

Channels

 

in 

PULSE

​​

 

mode

 

will

 

cause

 

toggle

 

between

 

being

 

muted

 

and

 

unmuted

 

on

 

every

 

trigger

 

received

 

on 

their

 

input.

 

​​

GATE

​​

 

mode

 

is

 

optimized

 

for

 

square

 

wave

 

LFOs

 

and

 

sustained

 

gate

 

notes,

 

while 

PULSE

​​

 

is

 

meant

 

to

 

be

 

used

 

with

 

short

 

momentary

 

triggers

 

or

 

pulses. 

 
Holding

 

down

 

​​

X-MODE

​​

 

enters

 

the

 

other

 

mode

 

of

 

the

 

Mutamix,

 

which

 

changes

 

the

 

behaviour

 

of 

the

 

buttons

 

and

 

the

 

​​

MUTE

 

CTRL/X-MODE

 

FUNCTIONS

​​

 

inputs.

 

The

 

buttons

 

now

 

instantly

 

recall 

saved

 

presets

 

when

 

pressed.

 

Furthermore,

 

the

 

​​

MUTE

 

CTRL/X-MODE

 

FUNCTIONS

​​

 

inputs

 

have 

now

 

switched

 

from

 

providing

 

​​

MUTE

 

CTRL

 

​​

to

 

their

 

​​

X-MODE

 

FUNCTIONS.

 

​​

The

 

respective 

functions

 

of

 

each

 

input

 

is

 

displayed

 

in

 

blue

 

below

 

the

 

input

 

jacks.

 

These

 

functions

 

can

 

also

 

be 

accessed

 

by

 

double

 

tapping

 

their

 

associated

 

button. 

 
Connecting

 

a

 

clock

 

signal

 

to

 

the

 

​​

CLK

​​

 

input

 

causes

 

Mutamix

 

to

 

step

 

through

 

saved

 

presets

 

on 

each

 

clock

 

pulse.

 

​​

RESET

​​

 

will

 

jump

 

to

 

the

 

first

 

preset,

 

​​

DIR

​​

 

will

 

change

 

the

 

direction

 

Mutamix 

steps

 

through

 

presets,

 

​​

RANDOM

​​

 

will

 

jump

 

to

 

a

 

random

 

preset,

 

​​

INV

​​

 

will

 

invert

 

the

 

current

 

mute 

state

 

of

 

all

 

channels,

 

and

 

​​

MUTE-ALL

​​

 

will

 

mute

 

or

 

unmute

 

all

 

channels.

 

The

 

number

 

of

 

presets 

used

 

in

 

this

 

sequence

 

can

 

be

 

set

 

by

 

holding

 

down

 

the

 

​​

PULSE

 

​​

button

 

and

 

then

 

selecting

 

the

 

last 

preset

 

to

 

be

 

used.
