Importance of Mixer Modules in Modular Synth Setups

Mixer modules play a critical role in your modular setup by allowing you to control the level and balance of each sound source in your mix. Additional features such as the ability to pan sounds left and right, built in VCAs, and send-return capability further expand the sound design and performance possibilities of your modular synth. This allows you to create complex, multi-layered soundscapes with ease.
