Some visual ideas.. Patching about in MS Paint
What fits, what doesn't etc
1U, 2 AUX, dual Pan, HPF, Bass, Mid, Treble, Gate, signal led - returns with Tilt
5 Channel. Do-able? Worth it?

Some nice ideas here but you highlight just how many different ways of doing this there are.
I am currently prototyping a 2U 8:2 stereo mixer with 4 aux sends, basically a cross between the Reason 6:2 and 14:2 mixers.
One idea I am toying with is extending the UI via selectable panels, so I dont have to cram all the controls into such a tight space.
This should allow for some extras like effects etc, any thoughts?
Here is a prototype artwork (no selectable panels in this yet though)

Yes, 'many ways to skin a Cat' Sorry for the random image drop but the purpose was to prompt ideas only. Some live performance related and Front panel only I guess as my 1U and 3U images would be CV jam packed on the rear.
I did a 1U as you toyed with the idea and loaded it up with possible useful options per channel.
I like your 8:2 design. I think this is the best idea between the 6:2/14:2 Keeping the 4 Aux, 8 channel not 6 in a 2U not 4U like the 14:2 could be highly used without extension panels.
So adding them would be really cool. Could you make the select extension button(s) remote override for the obvious quick selection via midi controller?
I don't want to add any requests much as I've kind of done that in my uploaded images but, quick performance related, the HPF/Gate knobs or buttons are useful tools although there are a few ways to add these effects so no worries.
I'm up for more CV's if possible.
Great work and thanks for taking the time and effort
