best way to mix a few audio signals?
« on: February 05, 2016, 11:27:03 pm »
I built a simple circuit that take a 2V p-p triangle wave from my little DDS function generator (or any audio signal) and turns it into a square wave using a LM358 as a comparator. I have a pot that lets me adjust the pulsewidth by moving the point at which the comparator flips.
This then goes through a divide by three circuit made with a 40hc386 and a 40103.
This gives me three different signals, none of them are AC coupled and some of them are 0-5V.
I also have a 74393 on the same breadboard that lets my divide it by 2/4/8/16 etc.

QUESTION: What's the proper way to mix a bunch of signals like this together. I want to output the mixed signal to an audio amp in the end.
There's lots of different info about building simple mixers online but I was just wondering what the EEVBlog forum members think.

This is the mixer of an Arp Odyssey. Very simple. The inputs are DC coupled. The output to the VCF is AC coupled.

I've found lots of useful from Rod Elliott in the past :)
