About the Mixer block
The standalone Mixer block(s) is used to mix and route signals on the grid. Unlike the Multiplexer block, the Mixer can handle multiple inputs simultaneously.
The block can't be bypassed and doesn't support Global blocks.
For routing purposes, attach an external controller like a switch to the Mixer. This lets you use a single pedal to operate as a Wah (Wah block) or a Whammy (Pitch block), or crossfade between Amp blocks, similar to the Multiplexer block. Crossfading is something that the Mixer can accomplish and block channels can't do.
For more information see the Owners Manuals.
Mix parameters in Output blocks
The Output blocks also have basic mixing controls. These let you set the overall output level of the preset and the relative levels of the grid rows, per scene.
For more information read:
Delay controls
Current firmware adds Delay controls to the Mixer block. This allows adding samples of delay to each signal. This can be used to compensate for latency when routing things in parallel.
FRACTAL AUDIO QUOTES
[1] What I do is generate a sine wave with the Synth block, flip the polarity into the outboard gear and adjust the delay until they cancel out.
