We say...
Super-handy buffered mults and mixer combo with some nice bonus features like inversion and rectification. An essential set of utilities in a compact and well built package!
Manufacturer's description
- 1 to 4 buffered multiple with inverted 4th copy
- 1 to 4 buffered multiple with rectified 4th copy
- 4 to 1 unity mixer normalled to the two multiple
- Bipolar LED signal indicators for each section
Mimic and mix
Mimix is a handy utility for copying and combining signals in Eurorack systems. The module features three sections: two buffered multiples each with an augmented fourth output, and a 4-input unity summing mixer.
Duplication
Mimix has two independent multiples, A and B, each with four available copies of either audio or CV. Unlike passive multiples, these buffered copies use active circuitry to ensure there is no signal loss or interaction between the signals.
Additionally, the input impedance is very high so the source signal is essentially unaltered, and precision components are used so that each copy is identical. This is necessary when copying voltages scaled to 1V/oct for pitch control of oscillators and sound sources.
The two multiple sections, A and B, each have two WHITE LEDs which help to visualize the strengths and polarities of the input signals.
Augmentation
Identical copies are ideal for many applications, but not necessarily for experimentation. For this reason, the fourth output of each multiple is an augmented copy derived from the source signal.
Multiple A has an inverted copy labeled A INV, which has its polarity flipped. When the source signal voltage is positive, this output is negative. When the source signal voltage is negative, this output is positive. This is useful for patching opposing modulation signals.
Multiple B has a rectified copy labeled B RECT, which outputs a full-wave rectified copy of the source signal that is always positive. When the voltage of the source signal is negative, the output is inverted. This is useful to control parameters which typically require a positive modulation signal, such as VCAs. It can also be used to distort audio signals, and much more.
Combination
The last of the module’s three sections is a 4-input mixer. The summing circuit combines all four inputs at unity gain to the SUM output. This is useful for creating interesting modulations or mixing several audio signals together to a single output.
By default, the first two inputs, [A] and [B], are normalled to the inputs of the two multiples. However, they may be replaced by plugging other signals into their respective input jacks. Inputs C and D are for additional external sources which can be added to the mix.
Similar to the two multiple sections, there are two WHITE LEDs to indicate the strength and polarity of the mixed signal at the SUM output jack.

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Shipping to mainland EU typically costs between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD, Royal Mail and Parcelforce for the UK, and for international orders it's either DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or Parcelforce depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we aim to dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Since April 2020, the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer. There is absolutely nothing we can do about this, unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
