Oft overlooked, mixers are one of the most commonly "You goot
be kidding me, I'm out of..." modules in the modular rig Along
with their more obvious function of mixing audio signals, they
can also be used slyly for more interesting applications

There's the hint: The circuitry of a mixer is pretty much identical
to what is used in all sequencers to set and sum the outputs of
the stages. In that each channel of a mixer has it's own pot, you
can use one to set the level of a gate signal and sum that level
with others. In short:

A Clock Divider + Gate Sequencer + Mixer = a four step analog
sequencer.

An A-149-1 + A-149-2 + Mixer = a four step random analog
sequencer

and following this logic:

A Clock Divider + Polarizing Mixer = the Blacet Binary Zone.

And sorry for the shameless plug, but...

Any waveform + Plan B Model 17 + Mixer = a three step direction
controllable analog sequencer. OK, three steps is a bit shallow,
but it works.

Try this at home! Having more than one sequencing voltage
source is really fun - but can be cost prohibative. These simple
patches can give the same effect without that investment. If you
happen to have a sequencer already, take one of the stage gate
outs and use it to drive tha pulse divider - then use the output of
the mixer to offset each pass dialed nto the main sequencer so
thatr each pass has a different voltage center reference - way
cool.
