The Hexinverter Mutant Hot Glue is a proficient bus mixer featuring a powerful compressor capable of both series and parallel compression and featuring a dedicated side chain input. There’s also voltage controlled distortion that can be used in a variety of ways, including with external sound sources.
The Mutant Hot Glue features a four-channel output that feeds directly into the compressor’s input. Parallel compression is possible via the blend control. Additionally, Channel A features its own dedicated output and mixer bypass switch that enable it to be used alongside the compressor as a sidechain source. There’s also an effects send/return that offers a plethora of complex routing options throughout the rest of one’s modular synthesizer system.
- 4 channel mixer with effects send
- 4 input channels, each with their own level and effects send control
- Channel A mixer bypass switch and dedicated output for easy sidechain compression
- Channel B is dual input, but shares level/send controls (for dual output modules, like the Mutant Hihats)
- Channel C+D summed output
- Main mixer output normalized to compressor input
- hi-fidelity analog compressor
- Soft-knee compressor based on the same family of premium audio ICs used in some 500 Series studio gear
- Blend control lets you adjust the dry/wet mix of the compressor, allowing for easy New York-style parallel
- compression
- Dedicated threshold and compression ratio controls
- Gain control dials in up to +20dB of compressor gain
- Compressor sidechain input for pumping effects
- LED indicator actively displays the amount of compressor gain reduction
- voltage controlled analog distortion effect
- A classic distortion topology reborn for modular analog synthesizers and drum processing
- In/Outputs are conveniently normalized to the module’s send and return jacks
- Blend control lets you adjust the mix of distorted and clean input signal
- Fast responding CV input allows for complex modulation patterns and even modulating with audio signals
