Pedge = Not buying gear
Secret Satan = ILF's version of secret santa (members randomly assigned a person to whom they anonymously give a gift for christmas).
That being said. I'm also pedging.

Ughhh! That's so damned tempting, but I just spent a bunch of money on a BPMC Premium Cable and need to save some for when the Xaoc Samara drops.

Decided to do a 15% discount on Matrise (4x4 Matrix Mixer) as there seems to be a lot of interest in this thread! Its currently selling at 225 USD, and there are just 3 left in stock.
https://pladaskelektrisk.com/product/matrise/
Hope you appreciate it!
Both of these things are fucking awesome. Looks like the Matrise is already out of stock, though.

Wow, 8x8 would be so crazy! And that demo was awesome! What's it cost to have an 8x8 active matrix mixer made?

Does anyone know if there's such a thing as a midi controlled matrix mixer?

Closest thing I can think of is a Keith McMillen KMix, but that's not exactly a matrix mixer - just a mixer with a fuckton of routing options that's fully MIDI-controllable.

There are high end rack matrix mixers, I'm guessing some of them have midi going on, but you're talking thousands of $$

I would think that it wouldn't be too hard to make something that was similar to how the Chase Bliss pedals are setup. It's not like the circuit is complicated or hard to build. If it's 4x4, then you just need enough I/O on the microprocessor to accommodate 16 of those pots. If only I could just start with the CBA code base....

So I'm gonna bump this up with a question re: active vs passive - I'm wanting to run guitar/synths/tape loops into my board/rack stuff/Max MSP (for the most part - certainly feedback loop experimenting would happen no matter what). Would a passive mixer work fine to have all that biz going thru all that biz, or would I need an active one?
