# 2ndP XMix v0.9 DEC-02-2001

A STEREO mini mixer for Buzz ( www.jeskola.com / www.buzzmachines.com )
Makes SMix 1.1 obsolete (but keep it for compatibility with old song files)

## Features

- stereo width reduction, pan, gain and 2 AuxBus sends for all inputs seperately and for the whole mix
- needs less than 2% CPU time on an AMD-K6/2-350MHz PC
- has DC correction for all channels (switched off by default)
- the names of the inputs are shown in the parameter view
- up to 16 tracks
- classic Buzz interface :)

## Problems

Don't add more than 16 inputs.
Even if you only need Aux output, please do always connect XMix to something.
Unmuting XMix produces some garbage, sorry... Use volume sliders instead...
Theoretically you should be able to build recursive feedback loops easily with XMix: Just drop in a Jeskola AuxReturn and connect it (thru a wet-only delay and maybe some other effects) to the same XMix. But due to general problems with the AuxBus, you'll experience some distortion especially on low frequencies when you try that. But you can still use it for noisy drums, or filter the pops out as good as you can... At least the kind of distortion seems to be the same everytime you load the song :)
The sliders should be logarithmic...

## How To Use/Notes/Tips

DC correction can be switched on in the Attributes. All channels are then corrected seperately, before mixing. Drop a Cyanphase AutoDC behind XMix if you want to fix all channels after mixing or in front of XMix to fix just one channel.
More tracks can be added by pressing Ctrl + and removed by pressing Ctrl - in the pattern editor. You may add the track for a machine after connecting it, or remove a track for a machine while it is connected without risking a crash.
Use Rymix' StereoBox if you need more stereo width instead of less :)
You can change inertia length while a fade is running in the background, giving the illusion of moving multiple sliders at once :)
Use Jeskola AuxReturn or to access the Aux output. Theoretically you can connect AuxReturn back to the same XMix and create recursive feedback loops/progressive delay, but be aware that some clicks&pops may be added to the signal :(
If you don't want the sound to stutter, don't connect a machine while the parameter window is open. This is a good idea for many
Buzz machines.
In contrast to Jeskola's Mixer, moving the gain sliders has no effect to the volume of the signal sent to the Aux. Changing the input gain does.

## Version history

XMix 0.9 - added parameter description, 2 AuxSends, Inertia (fixes click problem)
SMix 1.1 - fixed problems with imported SMixes that have inputs with the same name as machines in the current setup
SMix 1.0 - first release
