Two independent four-channel audio mixers with internal normalizations, flexible output routing, and full voltage control
The DVCM is inspired by existing Buchla format dual mixers like the Model 206 and 256. With modern circuitry based around the SSI2164 quad VCA, the DVCM provides a total of eight channels of clean and transparent audio mixing with full voltage control.
The four audio inputs in the top section are normalized to the bottom section so that any unpatched audio inputs on the bottom will receive signals from the top. All audio inputs have associated CV inputs which respond to a 0-10V range. The final POST mixer outputs also have their own VCAs with inverting attenuators. The mixer can be patched as two separate 4-channel mono mixers or used as a stereo mixer when the lower section remains unpatched.
The upper and lower sections each have their own PRE and POST outputs to assist with integration of external effects processors, multitrack recording, feedback patching, or live performance monitoring. The POST output can achieve a maximum gain of 3X (+9.5 dB) which assists with cross-format patching between Buchla systems and other studio equipment (including Eurorack format modular systems) which use higher signal levels.
