CHANNELS
Modmix's 4 channels are simple and
transparent, providing a clean vehicle
for all kinds of experimentation.
❶—Preamp gain
This input gain knob is used to trim/
amplify the incoming signal.
❷—EQualizer
This is a 3-band-equalizer with a very
simple and transparent circuit. The
frequency ranges of the three bands
are:
• 60 Hz
• 300 Hz -1.9 Hz
• 12 K Hz.
This, adding to the +/-10 dB gain range
gives a very pleasant sounding EQ.
❸—Aux sends
These knobs are used to send more
or less of the channel’s signal to one
of the four eect send buses (called
1, 2, 3 and 4) included in Modmix. The
signal is taken aer the volume knob
(post-volume).
❹—Panning
The pan knob controls the panoramic
(le/right) position of channel’s
signal.
^
The knob is in the middle position: the
signal is sent equally to both the left
and right channels;
^
All the way to the left (L): the signal is
only sent to the left channel;
^All the way to the right (R): the signal is
only sent to the right channel.
❺—Mute/Phones
This switch mutes the signal before
the volume knob (so the aux sends are
implicitly muted too). It then reroutes
the signal to the phones output.
L
There are jumpers inside the unit to
change this behavior and only route
the signal to the phones output,
without also muting the channel.
❻—Volume
This knob controls the level of the
signal passing through the channel.
It has a 10 dB gain range at the top
and a 0 dB indicator.
❼—Signal LEDs
These LEDs allow you to monitor your
signal.
^
The green "signal present" LED is lit if a
signal above -20 dB is present.
^
The red "clipping" LED turns on if the
signal goes above 0 dB.
❽—CV control & LEDs
For each channel, use these CV-inputs
to control the aux-sends, panning,
and volume.
Bi-colour LEDs indicate the param-
eter being controlled: green means
positive voltage, while red is negative.
