Headphone mixer: 2 to 1
 

Hi,
I'm looking for a small, cheap and battery powered way of mixing in the output of a metronome with the headphone/monitor output of my TCH Perform-VG. I want it to be small and battery powered. Any advices?

Update: I have found one that has more inputs than I need and which I find a bit expensive: https://noise.kitchen/bastl-instrume...ents-dude.html

Update 2: Found this as well: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0824Q3WY8

Any more/better alternatives?

Thanks,
Per

On the backside of the Perform VG is an 'AUX' jack which is an input that mixes its input with your vocals and can be removed from the main mix out if desired.
The metronome may need to have a means to adjust it volume, as it appears it can't be adjusted within the Perform VG.

The 'Update 2' would seem to have what is needed if using the AUX input isn't workable and Amazon usually has a good return policy if it should function as expected.

Page 13 from manual....
"19. AUX Input
When you have a music player connected to the AUX input, any incoming chord
information will be used to determine key/scale for Harmony. (guitar connections
have priority over Aux when detecting key/scale)
You will hear the AUX input mixed with your Mic input (vocals). If the AUX is
too loud or too quiet, use the volume control on the music player to create the
appropriate mix with your vocals.

20. Aux to Main Out
Sometimes, you’d like to have a signal from the Aux input guide key/scale or use
it for an incoming monitor mix, but you don’t want that Aux signal mixed into
your main outputs. If you’d like to remove audio from Aux to the main out, simply
press/hold the Headphone button while connecting your Aux (1/8") cable.
This parameter resets each time you unplug and re-plug the Aux cable or if you
power cycle the unit. We don’t save this parameter because it’s not immediately
obvious how you’d “toggle” things and we don’t want to trap unsuspecting users
in a mode they can’t find a way out of."

Thanks Mark,
I didn't realize I can remove the aux in from the main output, gonna give that a try.

Many Thanks again,

Have tried it now, and I can confirm that with the Perform-VG alone I can get the metronome in my headphones but not in the speaker. :) I should really start reading the manual. :P

I still ordered the "Hart Just Mixer S" from Amazon though as I also want the option to get the headphones output from my Roland SPD:One Kick in my headphones as well.
