Super hyped!! You can get a D3MIX diy kit at Exploding Shed: https:\/\/www.exploding-shed.com\/diy-kits-overview\/diy-kits\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The D3MIX is a passive module I developed in dialogue with Pedro Eustache<\/a>, and it is as simple as radical in its approach. At its core, there are three interrelated attenuators that can drain CV and audio signals and\/or forward them to another output\/a common mixer node. What’s unique here in contrast to conventional attenuators is that by the simple flick of a switch you can toggle between pre-set proportions and relations of signals… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The what now….? In basic terms, you can set this module up for utility tasks such as multing<\/strong>, attenuation<\/strong>, a\/b switching<\/strong> and serving as a passive 3-1 mixer<\/strong>\/distributor<\/strong>. Since the D3MIX does not differentiate between a signal input and output, it also offers some wonderfully weird signal feng shui that allows for asymmetrical modulation<\/strong> and controlling audio level plus FX send at the same time with one single knob<\/strong>. If you connect channels, you can up that game considerably and have a 1-9 distributor<\/strong> with different levels per 3 outs, a 3 preset modulation matrix<\/strong>, and even more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the bottom of this page you find a manual<\/a>, as well as a build guide<\/a> for the DIY kit. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before explaining more, let\u2019s start with some easy demos with the D3MIX used as a signal router. In the first clip you hear an LFO modulating two different VCOs via the D3MIX – note how VCO1 starts modulating earlier and faster and then VCO2 modulation enters the game:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
