CV modulators/mixers with good haptic properties

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a module that lets me mix, offset, scale, and otherwise mangle several CV signals. 4ms SISM and TipTop MISO come to mind, but I have developed a severe aversion to these mini-pots that are not mounted to the front panel and would really prefer a module with a clean, spacious layout and full-size, haptically satisfying knobs. Happy Nerding 3x MIA seems to be sold out everywhere with no word about a restock anytime soon, so my number one option at the moment is the XAOC Samara. Do you have any other ideas or recommendations?

Regards

alternative: doepfer matrix mixer

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!

sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities

Warm Star Electronics has a module called The Bends in 10hp. That might be an option to look for. You can find them used occasionally and they are fairly inexpensive.

Wow, this looks fantastic and extremely well thought out! Thank you for the tip, I hope I'll find one on the secondary market since they don't ship outside of the US...

Definitely on the shortlist, although the knob matrix is almost a bit crammed imo. Thank you for the suggestion!

Hmm...well, Tiptop should be close to dropping the Buchla 257t at this point, and that would be a good candidate here. Also, Frequency Central's jammed the ARP 2600's signal manipulation section into a little module called the Process 26, and that'd work well, too.

Looking into this one myself. But to be honest, the name kinda gives me the creeps.

Hi, a few comments:
-- I have SISM and am very happy with it. Yes the mini-pots are small, but the spacing is adequate for me to use happily.
-- Levit8 has medium-sized nobs and can handle a lot of duties SISM can
-- Joranalogue Morph4 may be interesting for you, but it is more of a mashup module than offset/attenuvert
-- WORNG Vector Space does a tone of CV mashup and everything is selected by tap
