Intellijel Designs has introduced the Dubmix Voltage Controlled Mixer Suite:
Introducing the DUBMIX , DUBMIX AUX expander, and DUBMIX MINI expander. This has been a long project and it is finally in production and should ship in a few weeks. We thought a lot about how a VC Mixer would work in a modular synth context and Haven really championed the idea of focusing on VC Aux sends since this would allow for really complex and interesting automated mixing of FX and dub style sound manipulation.
We have tried to conserve size while not sacrificing the space needed for proper playability. This mixer is low noise, low bleed with clickless muting and fast clean VCAs. All the inputs and summing busses have soft clipping to help get warm sounds if you really push the mixes. It has been amazing to hook tup fx to this, automate the panning and get totally dubbed out sounds!
Here are the details:
DUBMIX:
- 28HP

Holy buckets this looks sexy, but how many people can afford $800 of mixer in their modular?
i thought it said “…dickless muting…”
looks like some marvelous gear really :}
