Bartender V2 from After Later Audio is an expandable 4-channel Stereo mixer in the style of PA analog mixers. The module is equipped with four identically constructed channel strips that are equally suitable for stereo and mono signals. Gain, FX send, panorama and volume can be adjusted for each channel. A toggle switch can also be used to select whether the FX send control works pre-fader or post-fader and refers to send 1 or 2. Switches for mute and cue (pre-listening) round off the channel configuration. As the volume and pan can be modulated via control voltage, each channel can be used as a Stereo-VCA with VC panning if required. All channels lead into the master section. Here you will find the connections for stereo send/return 1 and 2 as well as the main out in Stereo and mono. The headphone output with a large jack has a pre-listening function, which is also found on many DJ mixers. A fader with LED chain is provided for adjusting the output volume.
Three expanders for Bartender V2
Bartender is designed to grow with the needs of the user. With Barbeck V2 the module can be expanded with two equally equipped stereo inputs; up to four expanders, i.e. 16 Stereo inputs in total, are possible. The expander Send VCA allows modulation of the send parameter via control voltage from the main module and up to two Barbeck expanders. The third expander USB-2CH is designed to send audio signals from Eurorack to the DAW and vice versa.
I'm extremely happy with this Mixer! Four channels is a good amount for the space taken up in hp here. I also added a Barback for two more channels. I have an outboard Mixer outside of the rack, but it's great having something inside of the rack for more immediate tweaking. Sends and Receives to multiple effects and also CV control of Panning and Level, etc. And all in Stereo if wanted (per channel) for even more variation (especially when using the panning between the two channels, such an awesome variation of effects here)!
