      You probably know about Lyra8 and that with reverb and some careful tweaking you can make something akin to sweet ambient stuff. So through this mixer one could make this chain sound like Lyra again. But then we put another reverb after the mixer...

    The problem with DJ mixers is that they're ridiculously overpriced compared to other mixer types in the market like PA, studio and broadcast mixers. For the the price of a Pioneer or Alien & Heath 4-channel DJ mixer you can easily score a 32-channel PA/recording mixing console from Mackie or Yamaha (just to name a few established pro audio brands), which is insane when you think of it.
    This makes me very sceptical of "performance mixers" like this Modmix, even if it is a boutique brand (which is no guarantee for quality btw). The value is simply not there. You're better off getting a solid PA mixer and save yourself a shit ton of money that you can then spend on FX modules or pedals.

    Why do "normal" mixers lack CV control? This however seems to be a mixer more in the tradition of the Boss KM line, adding its very own character to your signal.

  • @RandomMakingEncounters

    Curious about the lack of nuts on the switches and the inputs. I know it would harsh the gestalt but are the switches and inputs just supported by their lugs on the board? That feels like a broken solder joint waiting to happen especially if this is intended to be a performance instrument. I do appreciate independent makers and completely understand it’s hard to be profitable with bespoke instruments. Having said that, for real money, it can’t just look cool and sound interesting if it breaks after the first hard use.

  • @hollownation
    @hollownation 2 месяца назад +1

    It’s very cool but it’s a shame the channels are mono but I guess it’s meant to be used with devices like Syntrix or Lyra 8

    Looks a bit like Sherman filterbank territory, besides being a mixer. Have you used one before and could you roughly compare them? Two very interesting instruments.

      i almot spat my coffee all over the modmix reading this comment. Too funny!
      The short of it is:
      Small manufacturer
      Expensive R&D and manufacturing
      Not selling thousands of units
      And add that nasty inflation and things get expensive! I saw that a Novation Peak is 1800 euro and it wasnt that expensive before

      Yes, connect outs to inputs and of you go. But like you say; this is purposefully designed for it. With modulation and much more controls.
