I was able to sit down yesterday and put together my first attempt at a matrix mixer. It’s a pretty cool little thing that has multiple inputs and outputs, so you can run some of the outputs back to an input for a feedback loop. It is a pretty simple project, but it made me remember how much of a novice I am in all of this. I didn’t realize the amount of holes I would have to drill and was surprised at how long and tricky it was to do all the wiring. I’m sure it is something that I’ll be able to do much better in the future, but as for now it was definitely a good learning experience. The only bad part of it all is that I’m not actually sure if I wired it correctly to the schematic (found in Handmade Electronic Music) and I don’t know if it is behaving correctly. Still, it was fun and I’ll try to make another one sometime down the road.
