A mixer or rather a synthesizer? The Modmix from Finegear is a mixer, with 4 channels, feedback and CV possibilities.
Modmix is a mixer designed for feedback patches. Ever heard of No-Input Mixing? You create feedback loops in the mixer itself and change the sounds with the EQs and other parameters. Modmix was designed specifically for this technique.
Of course, you can also use it in the traditional way to combine four signals. There are 4 inputs, each with an XLR/6.3mm jack combo. Microphone, guitar or synthesizer, anything will go here! Each channel has a three-band EQ, 4 (!) effect sends, a pan parameter, and of course a level pot at the bottom. The effect sends all have a stereo return and there are two audio inputs from which envelopes are generated within the envelope follower.
But Modmix already breaks the standard here by having CV inputs for each channel for the effect sends, pan and volume. You can use any modulation signal here to control the parameters. You don't have a Eurorack system (yet)? Just use the LFOs or Envelopes (from the Envelope Follower) integrated into the mixer. The LFOs have two normal and one inverted output. There is a sine, triangle and pulse wave, as well as a parameter for frequency and symmetry.
But now back to the no-input mixing. Modmix has a dedicated mixing console on which exciting routings can be realized. Each of the four channels can be routed here via a switch to the respective AUX send 1-4 (channel 1 to send 1, channel 2 to send 2, etc.) or back into itself. So by flipping a switch, you can turn each of the channels into a small sound generator that sound-wise is not small at all. Of course, you can do much wilder things with cables on the back.
Last but not least is the master section. Equipped with two fancy VU meters, it lets you keep an eye on your level.
A little postscript: you can remove the wooden side panels and chain multiple modmixes together. There are included connection cables for this... do you dare?
In Romania, you come to find Finegear. Their devices bring effect classics into new formats that fit into any studio. Whether Spring Reverb, Tape Delay, or Ring Modulator - they do it!
