mm33+

improved 3x3 matrix mixer

mm33+ is a 3x3 matrix mixer usable for both audio and CV signals. It's an updated version of the very first third-party module for AE Modular.

The original mm33 3x3 matrix mixer was the very first 3rd-party module for the Tangible Waves AE Modular synthesiser system, so an update is just about due! The main differences from the original mm33 are as follows:

• The module now uses surface mount components, so it's a little bit neater;
• Each output channel now has a switch to select whether the output is targetted for CV or audio (CV signals are relative to 0v, whilst audio signals are centred around 2.5v).
• Gain for each channel has been increased to improve the behaviour when using the mm33+ within feedback patches — this is especially useful when switched to the audio output mode. Because of the new CV/Audio switches, there are no longer any AC coupled inputs, but we're confident that they won't be missed

Controls

• mix controls (x9) - adjusts the mix of signals between inputs (I,II,III) and outputs (x,y,z).

Connectivity

The purpose of the matrix mixer is to create three different mixes of the input signals. Inputs are mapped to each row, whilst outputs are mapped to each column.

Inputs

• I II III Audio or CV inputs. The signals map to each row of the controller matrix, indicated by the number of lines on that row.

Outputs

• x y z Seperate mixes of the input signals.
