I'm curious why you feel the need to correct the grammar of a person who does not speak English as their native language.
Please tell us how you'd say it in Dutch.  _________________ I, Parasite | Synth fuckery on Soundcloud

While we're on this subject, is there anything approaching a channel strip module?
Something like a Pittsburgh Outs but with a simple EQ section? _________________ http://cmx.org.uk |

I think about a VCA Matrix just about every day.
I keep congratulating myself on not having module lust, but in reality, it's there. Sort of like an alcoholic who congratulates himself on keeping his habit under control by drinking a few beers every night. |

I'm sorry if I said it was "incorrect". It merely made me wonder how Eurorack is said in different cultures. Here, "An...***" means that it is starts with a vowel sound which lead me to believe it may be said differently elsewhere. _________________ http://www.REwireMusic.com |

I can't think of any mixer feature that isn't already available in Euro.
If you only want to use this hypothetical mixer for audio and you don't care about voltage control or taking up lots of rack space, why not just buy an external rackmountable mixer and put it in a separate case or get a big case that can accommodate an external mixer and your Eurorack. Don't like 1/4" jacks? Make or pay someone to make a format jumbleresque unit and mount it in your case.
For what you want, the only advantages I can see of doing this in Euro are customization and expandability, but your stated desires are fairly standard and there is so much variety in non-Euro rack-mountable mixers these days that you could just get a different mixer if these desires change. You're probably going to get a much higher quality unit for the money if you don't try to build this in Euro as well. Am I missing something here? _________________ Repeater Electronics:

The big question that I have is would a non-CV controlled mixer be enough? I was thinking of a modular mixer - input channel sections that could be chained for expansion (4-channel blocks) and separate output blocks. That way you could make it as big as you want. different output blocks would have different features (LED meters, limiters, slide pots, headphone monitors etc.).
I know everyone really wants CV control of everything but If you want to keep the cost down and still offer a good sound it is better to leave the CV out. Maybe one of the variations of input channel blocks could have CV control but it would cost more to have it.
I myself have rarely wanted an in-cabinet mixer. I have plenty of outboard ones that have great EQ (which is more helpful than many think) effects, and multiple Aux sends etc. Any mixer in cabinet will take up lots of HP. Think of the space needed for a Sequencer and you are close.

a modular mixing system for modular synthesizers! I love the idea of "building" my mixer as I see fit _________________

Dennis,
Genuinely interested to know, if you don't need CV control, why you want this stuff in a module and taking up space in the case rather than using a stand-alone mixer? What's it going to give you that you can't get far more cheaply with a dedicated mixer?
I thought you had a little notepad mixer as part of your live setup?

There's only one "t" in grammatically.  |

It really depends if you're mixing modules that are being sent to other modules. I mix 8 oscs with two Mutagens and with busses, send them to any of 6 filters. External mixers would be a pain in that regard. Also then mix the outputs of those filters with two MX-4S so I can pan them and then into a QMMG for a 2 channel mixdown. It's after that that an outboard mixer becomes useful as I then can send to many outboard effects.

As a German-speaker I can say that 'Euro' is pronounced 'Oy-roh' rather than 'Yer-oh' as we say in English. 'An' is approrpriate in front of the word given that pronunciation. I know Dennis isn't German, but I'd bet the explanation is the same.  _________________ Analogue Haven ∙ CTRL ∙ EquinoxOZ ∙ EFN ∙ Foxtone Music ∙ PostModular ∙ Schneidersbüro |

Myself and decadesbynight have been dreaming and scheming about this for a bit. It would be FANTASTIC to have an 8 channel VC Mixer with EQs, 2-4 Sends, etc, who cares if it is huge? Or maybe a master module and you can just add the channels to it? _________________ http://soundcloud.com/r-stirling/

The idea is to have a system with no need for an external mixer.

I'd love something that has4 channels and an Aux Send/return with Mute/solo on each channel.
Gate controlled Mute/solo would be awesome  |

Ideal would be like those analogue solutions ones.
