About the Mixer block

The standalone Mixer block(s) can be used to mix and route signals on the grid.

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. Example: operating the pedal or switch can enable one row (effect) and bypass another. 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 Channels cannot.

Unlike the Multiplexer block, the Mixer can handle multiple inputs simultaneously.
