Subject: Thinking on Mixer

It was my understanding from months back that one of the reasons for this
list was for user input on what features a module might have before Paul
designs it. Even though I am new to this list, it seems like some modules
are kept somewhat in the dark until after their specs are already pretty much
finalized or until their release. As with the Mixer, it is known to be a
dual 3:1 or single 6:1. But are there only two output connectors? Looking
at the Polyfusion mixer, I noticed they also provide inverted output so the
mixer can act as a voltage inverter also. (With no inverted output on the
LFO and no Inverter module, how can one do 180 degree out of phase stuff?).
They also duplicated the output connectors which helps reduce the use of
multiples if needed. Aries provides a combined mix output (mixed output from
two separate submixers), this would mean the MOTM would not have to be
switched between modes and leave a non functioning knob as some people stated
before. You would just pick the output connectors you wanted to use (A mix, B
mix or A+B mix). However you would need to rotate both output knobs to
adjust all 6 inputs to output levels if using it as a 6:1 input mixer. Just
wondering if total specs are made public before laying out the PCB and it is
too late for changes/additions?
