I fucking finally built my goddamn PT audio DDO that I got from synth cube. I had it sitting there because lazerkind who makes the PCB's had on his build that the opamps shouldn't get hot but they were getting hot, not sure what to do I couldnt find anything wrong and I quit. So after a couple months I come back to it and tell a friend to give me his more professional opinion and he says "well they're warm" but he checks the voltage draw and says they aren't drawing anything crazy.

Do the final step of putting the ATmega chip and the DAC BAM it works. Like what the hell. It was fine the whole time. Just need to calibrate it and Ill finally have an oscillator in my system again.

Got a Mix01 incoming, hopefully to be paired with another in the nearish future -- either set up as 4 in 4 out or 8 in 2 out, not sure yet.

The Mix01 can't do this (I don't believe), but I got off on a bit of a tangent -- anyone know of any mixers that have CV control over the blend/input levels of the mix? I'd love to be able to have elements mixed in and out with something like a Logoi.

Makenoise said they'll show a new module.

Mutable never do events like that (Olivier said it's time/money he prefers spending on new modules development I think).

There's a bunch of them now but they're usually expensive and take 20+HP of space.
Intellijel Dubmix, Toppobrillo Stereomix, ProModular MIIIIX, Xaoc Praga (not even sure this one has ever been released though)

Smaller footprint with a bit less options :
Mutable Instruments Blinds/Veils, Bastl Instruments Quattro Figaro, Intellijel Linix

And big/expensive but does much more :
4MS VCA Matrix

4MS VCA Matrix
Verbos Scan and Pan

Malekko/Richter XMIX (discontinued)
Ryo just released the VCX
The Moddemix could kind of do it
There is also the Befaco A+B*C

Another option is the WaveWiper (though more aimed at CV)

MI Frames doesn't have CV control of it's specific channels, but you can set up 64 different configs of those knobs and then use the big knob in the middle to go through them (or CV control the big knob).
