MIXZ is a low cost analog multi-channel mixing module for mixing audio, CV and gate signals with excellent linear response and low noise. Balancing a clear visual layout and multiple mixers in a small footprint makes the MIXZ easy to use in a variety of configurations within the modular synth. Its high quality analog mixing circuitry makes for a great sounding mixer with plenty of headroom, providing a smooth organic merge of dynamics, and excellent separation of mixing sections and channels. MIXZ has three sections:

Mixer A - a low noise 4 channel mixer with independent gain control per channel
Mixer B - a low noise 4 channel mixer with master gain control
Bus Mix - a multi channel mixer that mixes signals from modules utilizing the Tiptop Bus Mix

Mixer A and B can be configured as either two independent 4-channel mixers or as a single 8-channel mixer. If the output of Mixer A is not in use, then Mixer A will be routed internally to Mixer B forming the 8-Channel mixer.

Tiptop Bus Mix is a new method we have developed to mix audio signals through the Eurorack power bus board without patch cables, a little bit of magic, eh? Although this technique is not ideal for a low noise mix, we found it to be useful for some applications including mixing our drum modules, which all have a Bus-Mix enabled output. The result is that your drum modules are always available and mixed on the master out of the MIXZ with a flip of a switch. This will save you time and fees up cables or repatching sounds again and again, while keeping the channels of MIXZ free to bring other signals into the mix.
