Front Panel

1- Buttons are used for various functions depending on whether they
are clicked, double clicked or pressed and held. Most basic function is
click to mute the channel

2- Faders - fader sets the level of the channel, LEDs show wether it is
muted.
The LEDs are also used in SAVE, LOAD, GATE and PULSE menu to
display information

3- Bus switch, This selects which bus the channel is output to

4- INPUTS these are the inputs to the channels. They accept CV and
audio

5- MUTE CTRL / X-MODE FUNCTIONS. These inputs accept gate and
trigger signals. They control the mute state in the Main mode, and
sequencer like functions in X-Mode as shown in the black bar

6- BUS A, B, C. These are the mixed outputs. Bus A and B have an
attenuator connected to them.

Controller

The Mutamix is a mixer that uses a tiny computer called a micro controller to automate six VCA based mutes. This allows remote control

over the mutes via the six MUTE CTRL inputs as well as preset memory and sequential switch like functions in X-MODE. The VCA mutes

are controlled by a very short preset envelope generator to avoid clicks at high frequencies.

The Mutamix channels and mix bus are made with analog circuitry that will pass DC and audio

signals. Because only the analog VCA is controlled by a analog envelope generator the signal path

does not pass through a ADC or DAC. This gives us hybrid system of analog electronics under

digital control.
