In this lesson, we explore the mixer section and its semi-modular connections on the Moog Grandmother, showing how it lets you combine and shape multiple sound sources before sending them to the filter and other modules.

You’ll learn how to:

• Understand each mixer channel and how it blends oscillator outputs, external inputs, and noise

• Route signals through the patch bay to create custom signal paths

• Adjust levels to balance and sculpt your sound before filtering and creating overload feedback patches

• Experiment with combining modulation sources and external inputs for creative effects

• Use the mixer as a central hub for audio and control voltage mixing

Mastering the mixer in the Grandmother’s semi-modular environment allows you to control how sounds interact and evolve. By exploring both normalled and patched connections, you can design more complex, expressive, and uniquely textured tones.
