Doepfer

My understanding of mixers like the A 138 is that they are designed to NOT produce the effect that I want - they are designed to minimise the artefacts of bringing the signals together. I'm specifically looking to create interaction effects. As I said in the initial email about using a mult "it would be non linear and give more rich harmonics - or so I understand. ( Page 175 Electronic Music: Systems, Techniques and Controls, Allen Strange)." It is what Strange suggests - using a mult - but I'm wondering how to make it "safe" for the oscillators.

Intellijel designs makes one called the Unity Mixer for US$75 (on Analogue Haven - http://www.analoguehaven.com/intellijeldesigns/unitymixer/ ). It is a dual 3-in 1 out summer that is normalized together so can make a 6-in one out summer. It is also only 2HP wide. Very useful if you have VCOs with only one V/Oct Cv in and you want to drive it with a sequencer and transpose from a keyboard for instance.
