Modular Mixer v 2 - Content and User Guide

[spacef]

The first release of Modular Mixer v 2 contains the following devices (approx 42/43 MB):

Channels v2 : advanced effect channels (6 different modules)
• M4.dev - 4 Mono Channels
• M8.dev – 8 Mono Channels
• M12.dev – 12 Mono Channels
• S4.dev – 4 Stereo Channels
• S8.dev – 8 Stereo Channels
• S12.dev – 12 Stereo Channels


Routers : 12, 16 and 20 channels, 5 busses (14 different modules - or more exactly, 3 different modules with several variations each). The numbers in the device refer to the channels modules: for example a “4-4-8” means that the user will use 2 modules of 4 channels at the top, and one module of 8 at the bottom. 8-8 means that it is made for 2 modules of 8 channels. “Standard” means that there is no spacer on the input pads.
Please also note that Routers with 5 bus are the best to use for large mixers (20/24 channel mixers), however, additional routers with 6 and 7 busses are available in case they fit your projects.

• R205VII-4-8-8.dev (20 channels 5 busses)
• R205VII-8-4-8.dev
• R205VII-8-8-4.dev
• R205VII-Standard.dev

• R165VII-4-4-8.dev (16 channels 5 busses)
• R165VII-4-8-4.dev
• R165VII-8-4-4.dev
• R165VII-8-8.dev
• R165VII-12-4.dev
• R165VII-Standard

• R125VII-4-4-4.dev (12 channels 5 busses)
• R125VII-8-4.dev
• R125VII-4-8.dev
• R125VII-Standard.dev

Routers with 6 and 7 busses
6 BUS SYSTEMS

• R206VII-4-8-8.dev

20 channels + 7 bus appears oversized for Scope Xite in most cases. They can be nice with 12 or 16 channels but 20 is a lot. Anyways, 4 "R207" variations are available as a "gift bonus" :
• R207VII-12-4-4.dev
• R207VII-8-4-8.dev
• R207VII-8-8-4.dev
• R207VII-Standard.dev


Master Bus: (5 modules) The master bus v2 now include 2 "x-wave" channels + 2 rec channels.

• MB 302 Fx (3 advanced fx channels, 2 aux)
• MB 502 Fx (5 advanced fx channels, 2 aux)
• Mix 502 (5 simple channels, 2 aux)
• MB 503 Fx (5 advanced Fx channels + 3 Aux)
• MB 303 Fx (3 advanced Fx channels + 3 Aux)

INSERT EFFECT
• Aux Merger (setereo to stereo/L/R/Merge Mono - dB).


Modulators: Connect them to input A, B, C, and D of the Channels or Master Bus devices.
• ADSR.dev
• AHD.dev
• Modulators-v2.dev

A/B Switches : allow to save mixer channels by switching between audio sources (see page 14 of the manual about the use of Switches)
• Sw1M.dev
• Sw2M.dev
• Sw3M.dev
• Sw4M.dev
• Sw1S.dev
• Sw2S.dev
• Sw3S.dev
• Sw4S.dev

--------------
Modular Mixer v2 concentrates on getting the cleanest routing window possible. The following modules are made for this purpose only.


Corners and Routers: they are surface-less modules for the project window. they allow achieving better looking routing by avoiding cables overlapping devices or by setting cables angles where you need them to be (out of your sight in general
legend: L=Left, R=Right, T=Top, B=Bottom, "=" = going to.
example: "Doubler 2 Inputs-L=T B.dev" means : 2 inputs on the left , going to outputs on the top and at the bottom of the module.

If your project routing begins to look ugly, check if there is something here that can help:


Aux Routing
• 1 Ext Aux.dev
• 2 Aux-Aux1 Int-Aux2Ext.dev
• 2 Aux-Aux1 Int-Aux2Ext-B.dev
• 2 Ext Aux-2 Aux Return Left.dev
• 3 Ext Aux.dev
• 3 Aux - Aux1 Int- Aux 2-3 EXT.dev

Mono Routers gives 1 + 2 output to one input. Allows to get pads for easy routing of mono signals to both mono and/or stereo channel modules.
• Mono to Stereo-x1LRB.dev
• Mono to Stereo-x1LRT.dev
• Mono to Stereo-x2LRB.dev
• Mono to Stereo-x2LRT.dev
• Mono to Stereo-x3LRB.dev
• Mono to Stereo-x3LRT.dev
• Mono to Stereo-x4LRB.dev
• Mono to Stereo-x4LRT.dev
• Mono-to-Dual.dev

Doublers - allows to route signals in two directions
• Doubler 2 Inputs-2 L=R B.dev
• Doubler 2 Inputs-2 L=T L.dev
• Doubler 2 Inputs-L=R R.dev
• Doubler 2 Inputs-L=R T.dev
• Doubler 2 Inputs-L=T B.dev
• Doubler 4 Inputs-L-B R.dev
• Doubler 4 Inputs-L-B T.dev
• Doubler 4 Inputs-L-T R.dev

Quad Corners re-route 4 inputs.
• Quad Corner-Bottom-R.dev
• Quad-Corner-Left-Bottom.dev
• Quad-Corner-Left-Right.dev
• Quad-Corner-Left-T B.dev
• Quad-Corner-Left-Top.dev
• Quad-Corner-Top to Bottom.dev
• Quad-Corner-Top to L R.dev
• Quad-Corner-Top to left.dev
• Quad-Corner-Top to Right.dev
• Quad-Corner-Top to Top.dev


That's all for now folks.
Comments welcome.

WOW! AMAZING

[dawman]

Sweet..

Where is page 14?

[Secret Test Kitchen]

I have your Modular Mixer v1. Can I use those modules with the v2 modules? Optimized for XITE?

[spacef]

Yes they are compatible, you can use a mixture of modules from v1 and/or v2.

page 14...: sorry it is a copy/paste from the manual , i missed that reference to page 14 of the manual.

I updated the content list with R125-4-8.dev.

[Marco]

If I had Version 1, can I update to version 2?

[spacef]

Good question !

I suppose the question is also about getting a cheaper price to get v 2 when you already have v 1

The truth is I don't know yet and it does not only depend on me: sales and activations are managed by S|C and I don't know if they can take the time to check who bought what. As activation is a manual process, it is time and work on S|C part.

I will ask to them in 2 days, to see how it can be done, but if it is too difficult to manage, then I suppose the cheaper prices will when there is a promotion/discounts.
As an excuse, please consider that SpaceF stuff is not the most expensive I think: it is the result of negotiations between SC and me, they have been cool so far (some stuffcould have been more expensive ) .

In 2 days because this week-end I will check the 7bus/3 aux modules, and could include a few of them now rather than waiting for a "pack 2" that people would have to pay for again. So it would already be a hidden discount or free stuff from the start, lol, but of course it can't be advertised and the week-end is not finished so it is not sure what can be done.

I just hope whatever will be done in this respect will be fine with you guys.

[dawman]

All I know is whenever I slow down and sit, I feverishly check the shop for the Modz.
New PayPal account.
Mixers n FX all at once....

[spacef]

I updated the list with 6 and 7 bus routers, 2 master bus with 3 internal/external aux, a couple of 3 aux "corners", and an insert to setup Aux routing (stereo/Left/Right/Mono Merge -6dB).
I think I am done and need vacations ....

[dawman]

I can’t wait to try the Corners and other combinations.
Feverishly awaiting.

[spacef]

I attached the current v2 guide to the first post.
I guess the wait is because of the web page to make.

[dawman]

That oughtta hold me off a while.
My temperature already dropped to 101 degrees, still feverish...

The AUX devices are brilliant.

PFL can be created by turning down Mix levels on the Routers which will make IEMs w/ adjustable click track levels a walk in the park ....sweet.

Mehdi let’s do a funded Kickstarter for hardware versions of these.....

Digitally controlled Analog is the juice....

[spacef]

Mehdi let’s do a funded Kickstarter for hardware versions of these.....

that's exactly the purpose of the latest devices: how it began and how they are made... the next steps is more delicate but i beleive possible...

[Marco]

I'm getting insane, there is a user's manual added!

Scope is coming back from it's deep sleep!

[Marco]

When I buy v2 modules, can I use v1 modules with the same key?

[spacef]

nope, they are different keys.

[Marco]

You should offer v1 too.

[dawman]

These mixers allow much more to be loaded than v1.
Today Im going to try various AUX treats and corners etc.
I was up all night playing with these.
They’re unhealthy......
