I would much rather have a LINK1 and LINK2 input so VCA outputs can be
combined independently. This would allow multiple stereo panned signals to
be mixed. Take OUT1 from the previous MOTM-130, plug it into LINK1. Take
OUT2 from the previous MOTM-130, plug it into LINK2. Now the panned mix of
both MOTM-130s is available at the second set of outputs.
If you just want to link (mix) 2 VCAs (nonpanned), then take OUT1 and plug
it into LINK2 on the same module. The mix is now available at OUT2.
This not only saves a mixer module, it also saves unnecessary controls since
there's already GAIN controls at the VCAs.
