The Steady State Fate Vortices Character Mixer Eurorack module is designed to emulate the warm and round coloration effect of vintage analog consoles and tape machines. It features 14 inputs and 7 outputs, catering to both mono and stereo sources. The module offers two types of coloration and frequency response in its two mixer sections. The Mono Mixer provides a warmer, over-driven sound with pronounced high frequency reduction and round tonality, while the Stereo Mixer offers a gentler saturation effect and a brighter overall frequency response. Additional features include auxiliary inputs, a direct cross-fade mix breakout, and a split stereo output. The module also includes an optional V-CV expander for voltage control of the mixer inputs. The biasing feature allows for asymmetrical saturation and distortion effects. Overall, the Vortices module is ideal for sound processing applications, adding character, variation, and smoothing harsh signals.

The nonlinearcircuits Clump Eurorack module is a 4x4 CV controlled matrix mixer that offers 16 VCAs and 4 mixers. This module can be used as a regular mixer or as a powerful tool for creating unique sounds. It has gain pots that can boost a signal up to 2x and each VCA has a 1k trimpot to remove any offset voltages. Additionally, each input has a switch to turn off or invert the incoming signal, and the pots act as gain pots with no CV patched in and as attenuators when CV is patched. This module is a versatile tool, perfect for those looking to experiment and explore new sounds.
