I'd love that but tbh cv control is not necesary for me.

Here's my euro mixer/amp/attenuator panel... just completed due to a nice freebie unity mixer from kind mr baldwin.

Its basically 8 amplifiers, 8 attenuators, dual 3-1 (or 6-1) mixer, and 4 (dirty) VCA's for CV control... oh, and a spring reverb which isnt really a part of this but had no other room for.

The big I/O module was from soysos, a DIY build from a Pittsburgh guy, sounds great and the little unity mixer has turned it into another kind of beastie all together. Good stuffs! smile

Balanced outs is kinda overated imo.
Only needed for long distance.

Know there are analogue solutions modules for making a mixer with multiple modules..or are those no more?

Stereo mixer or Quadraphonic mixer even, with cv over just pan/position would be really cool. CV level feels like overkill, but well... if it's easy to add if you're already doing cv pan then why not.

A modular mixer like the asol one pictured above would be cool, esp if every channel would have a slider for volume and routings. Also fx sends (with cv). A super modular solution like this would be awesome. Something like the SSL x-rack modules. Maybe one could base it around 4hp small modules, a basic channel would just have level and pan, it could then be expanded with an eq and simple compressor (on the back there'd be connectors to route the signal through the expander). The master section could be expanded with balanced outs etc.

The most knobs you can comfortably place vertically on a Euro panel is 5 (unless you stagger them to get only 1 more at the cost of HP). That would make 3 AUX sends, one Pan, and One level or 1 Aux send, 2 EQ (low and hi), one pan and one level. Another option would be to have the EQ and maybe something else (like a compressor) on another panel so you would have the 3Aux, Pan, and Level panels for most of the mixer and a few EQ panels for the channels you want them for. The add-on side panels could also provide CV for the main panels or Mic Preamps or other options that you may not need on all input strips. That way you could grow the system as rot want with the cash you had. Start with a bunch of the 3A1P1L panels and add the EQ or others as you need. The EQ/Compressor type panel, or CV control panel could be designed to also connect to the Master panel so those effects could be added to all channels globally. The truly modular mixer.
The final full mixer would cost quite a bit more than a decent small Mackie or other brand mixer though. It would be cheaper to add VCAs to the channel inserts of a standard mixer.

tIB,
cool to see you still rocking that!
I loved the amps in that panel.
