Agreed, I have a little experience of matrix mixers and the ones with gain
controls were more useful.
Are we talking about a set of N output gains and a set of M input gains, or an
NxM matrix of gains?
The latter option is probably easier to use (and now I think about it not
much slower) but is going to be a IU nightmare.
In pauls earlier memory example, something like:
26 ins 26 outs
32 ins 32 outs
6 ins 6 outs
I was just imagining this layed out on a screen. Thats 4096 knobs (no
comments from anti gui knob people please!) which seems a bit of a
eyeful. Maybe by colour hinting the matrix lines you could make it easy
to use, something analogue synths have never done.
