Inside the box you'll find your Mixlar device, a USB-C cable, and a quick start card. Make sure everything is included before proceeding.
Open the downloaded file. Select Install for all users (recommended) and click through the installer.
Pick the destination folder (the default is fine) and click Next.
Review the summary and click Install. Wait for the installation to complete, then launch Mixlar Control.
Plug your device in via USB-C. Mixlar Control will open the setup wizard. Click Get Started.
Your device should appear in the list (highlighted automatically). Click Connect.
The app checks your device is running the latest firmware. Once confirmed, click Continue.
Pick between Linear and Logarithmic response curves. Try moving your sliders to preview each one, then click Continue.
To use your device wirelessly, click Detect BLE Device while still connected via USB. You can also skip this step and use USB only.
Once your device is found, click Save & Continue. You can now use your device over Bluetooth.
Your device also supports MIDI mode for use with DAWs. Flip the switch on the back to MIDI, or visit mixlar.net/midisetup later. Click Finish Setup.
Optionally connect Spotify, Home Assistant, Discord, and OBS right away — or set them up later in Settings. Click Continue to finish.
Now that your device is set up, learn how to configure sliders, create macros, and set up profiles.
Learn the AppA walkthrough of sliders, macros, and profiles in Mixlar Control.
This is your home screen. On the left are your 4 sliders (Channels), on the top-right are your 6 macro buttons, and on the bottom-right are your App Profiles. Click a slider label to configure it.
Click a slider label to open its settings. Under the Apps tab, select one or more apps to control their audio volume individually.
The System tab lets you control system-wide audio: Master Volume, Microphone Volume, or the Active Window.
The Devices tab shows your speakers, headphones, and microphones. Pick a specific audio device to control its volume directly.
The MIDI tab lets you send MIDI CC messages to a DAW or other software. Set the port, channel, and CC number.
Each slider has a Color (hex code) and optional Icon that show on your device's display. Change them to match your setup.
Click any + button in the Macros section to add a new macro. You have 4 pages of 6 macros each (24 total).
In the macro dialog, click + Create Macro to open the Macro Editor. You can also pick an existing macro with Pick.
Build macros from 13 action types: Keyboard shortcuts, Type Text, Open App, Open URL, Command, API Call, Mouse Click, Delay, Media Key, Smart Home, Discord, OBS Studio, and Spotify. Chain multiple steps into one macro.
Give your macro a Button Label, customize the Icon and Color, then click Save. The macro will appear on your device instantly.
Profiles save your entire slider and macro layout. Enable Auto-Switch to automatically change profiles when you focus a specific app (e.g. switch to a "Gaming" profile when you open a game).
Click Save Current to save your layout as a profile. Give it a name and link apps for auto-switching. Click Save when done.
Link Mixlar Control to Spotify, OBS Studio, Home Assistant, and Discord for even more control.

Swap out your stock knobs for custom ones. Gently pull the existing knob straight up to remove it, then press the new one onto the shaft until it clicks into place.
Any USB-C data cable will work with your Mixlar. For the best experience, use a cable that supports USB 2.0 or higher. Charge-only cables will not work.
The desk mount attaches to the bottom of your device with the included screws. Secure it to your desk using the clamp or adhesive pad — both are included in the kit.
