Ideas for a good (small hp) matrix mixer?

I consider to go for a matrix mixer.
I want to get two, 1. for mixing cvs and 2. for mixing audio to fx modules.

Wyrd from Nordular (10 hp) has caught my attention for now, because I doesn't have much rackspace left.

The bear modules matrix mixer is also an option. I get 2 for the price of 1 Wyrd, but its much more space.

Some other ideas for a good (small hp) matrix mixer?

Greetings

AI008 Eurorack Matrix Mixer looks like a good solution...

I've got the AI008 and I love it - fitted it with full sized pots and Bastl style knobs from Thonk

A 7mm hand reamer like this is perfect for making the panel holes slightly larger https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Straight-Groove-Reamer-Alloy-Tolerance/dp/B08JGM36J3?th=1

Recently I bought https://www.modulargrid.net/e/st-modular-matrico. Only 3 channels but sum output and polarizer switches

People shy away from CVilization because it looks like it might be difficult to program, but really that couldn't be farther from the truth IMO...but if you want something smallish HP that is a great matrix mixer but can do much more as well, its worth a look for sure: https://u-he.com/products/cvilization/

hmm - I have a couple of the smaller 10hp matrix mixers... tbh I'd rather have bigger ones... or at least a bigger one - completely due to ergonomics...

so maybe the problem is not that the matrix mixers are too big, it' s that the case is too small ... maybe it's time for another case!

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

sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities

I recently released a matrix mixer; not as small as some of the others you mention, I'm afraid, though it does have built in passive mults on all ports which should help save some routing space, or splitters at least.

Actively following this thread, thanks to @JimHowell1970 for mentioning matrix mixers :)
Best,

Hi @happy-hardware...

I like the mults, especially on the inputs!

had aquick read through of the description, but couldn't see hp or power requirements - but I might just be blind!!!

also are the trimmers full height ones - so compatible with the thonk trimmer toppers?

It's 18hp, and typically draws sub 10mA at 12V iirc
Yep, tall trimmers.
