Yeah, that's what I was a bit worried about too. I think it would take up
too much space (in a portable system) for what it really does.
I recommend the VC Panning Module for 2 channel crossfading, the internal
inverter makes it very easy, just connect a joy stick or whatever directly.

I have a regular mixer already, which is useful of course, but this would
limit the added functionality of a VC Mixer.
