The mixer modules in Nord Modular G2 can mix audio signals as well as control signals. If you connect
several sound sources to a mixer with high or amplified levels, the signal may distort. If this happens, at-
tenuate the input signals.

All Mixer module inputs are
Dynamic Control/Audio
signal inputs. This means
they adapt the module bandwidth to the bandwidth of the incoming signal(s). As
soon as you patch an audio signal to one input, the entire Mixer module will auto-
matically “update” to Audio bandwidth for highest possible quality. This also results
in the module using more Patch Load.

The level meter(s) on some modules displays the following signal levels: green LEDs between
-40dB and 0dB, yellow LEDs between >0dB and +11dB and red LED at >11dB.

Dynamic Control/Audio
signal inputs for patching in extra audio signals. These signals
will be mixed with the rest of the input signals and sent directly to the output. Signals
on the Chain inputs cannot be attenuated or muted in the Mixer module. You could
use the Chain inputs to patch in output signals from another Mixer module, for example.

Click the Pad scroll button to attenuate the levels on all mixer inputs by -6 dB (or -12dB).
This is useful to prevent clipping when you use a lot of the mixer inputs.

By default, all Attenuator knobs have logarithmic characteristics [
Attenuator Type
II
] with the range -infinity to 0 dB. In some mixer modules you can change the char-
acteristics to linear [
Attenuator Type I
] by clicking the Lin button described above.

Some mixers feature On/Off buttons to enable/disable the in-
puts. A blue button means that the channel is enabled. These
On/Off buttons can also be labelled for better overview. Right-
click on an On/Off button and select ‘Edit name’. Type in the new name and press Enter. Note that the
name cannot be longer than 7 characters because of the size of the
A

D
ISPLAYS
on the synth.
The Channel On/Off buttons cannot be assigned to a Morph Group.
