Everything in Eurorack costs a lot, but for mixers it's ridiculous.

Not necessarily. Ladik has their M-610, six channels, with pan and mono/stereo i/o, for $100, and it's expandable several ways. Now, yes, this means you won't have VCAs on every single thing, but it's just as simple to put your level control VCAs upstream from the M-610's inputs and then you'll get the same result. Autopanning: same deal...put the panner upstream of one channel, patch its outs to both sides of an M-610 input and leave the pan pot in the center. About the only things you'd lose with this over a higher-end performance mixer would be mutes and AUX send/return...but yet again, these can all be worked around. Even with the workarounds, also, you still come out ahead, monetarily.

My rack when I originally posted had the Ladik 610. Now I am looking at the Happy Nerding Pan Mix as it has CV control over panning and I just noticed it has a headphone jack so I could skip the 1U headphones module. But it is considerably more money I just noticed. I may go back to the ladik until I find I need something more specifically.
