Tiptop Audio MIX7, User Manual

Page: 2 / 5

MIX7
MIX7 is a 7-channel mono summing mixer in Eurorack format that can be used to mix audio, CV,
Triggers or Gate signals. There are two modes of operation that are set by a jumper at the back of
the module.
Unity gain (JUMPER OFF: OUT = IN): The level of each input equals that of the output, what comes
in comes out.
Attenuated gain (JUMPER ON: OUT = 0.4IN): The level of each input is attenuated at the output to
provide more headroom for mixing hot (loud) audio signals without distortion.
The module is shipped in Unity mode, with the jumper off.
MIX7 can be used in multiple ways, so lets get started:
Drum Mixer
Sequence a drum pattern with up to 7 drum sounds, connect the audio output of each drum
module to an input of MIX7. Connect the output of MIX7 to your sound system. Use individual
volume controls on drum modules to set the drums balance.
Mixing Oscillators Waveform
Connect the waveforms from two Z3000’s to the inputs of MIX7. Connect the mix output of MIX7
to your sound system through a Filter like the Z2040. You have just patched the audio part of a
monophonic synth patch.
Mixing Control Voltage Sources
In this example we will need two Z4000 envelopes. Connect the outputs of both to the inputs of
MIX7. Connect the mix output of MIX7 to your Frequency Modulation (FM) input of Z2040 filter.
Now you can modulate the filter frequency with two envelopes.
Mixing Triggers And Gates
Connect the trigger outputs from your Circadian Rhythms or Trigger Riot to different inputs on
the MIX7, send the MIX OUT to a Tiptop Audio ONE Sample Player, play with the Mute button on
the sequencers to add and remove triggers from the mix.
Mixing More Than 7 Channels
MIX7 is a summing bus that can be expanded by using two or more MIX7 modules to add
channels. Connect the output of the first MIX7 to input 1 on the second MIX7. Connect the output
of the second MIX7 to your sound system. Now you have patched a 13-channel mixer.
