the circuit for the CV mixer is optimized for DC or CV, and the audio
mixer is happiest with audio frequency signals.
The audio mixer's pots have an audio taper, and a processor's pots have
a linear taper. Also, the audio mixer will reject DC offsets.
Having said that, yes, you can mix audio signals in a DC mixer or
processor. You can mix slowly varying CV signals in an audio mixer, but
things like transients, sequencers, etc, will come out funny. Try it
for yourself!
