StudiomasterC3X 12-Channel Compact Rack Mixer with DSP Effects

I have three synth modules and two stereo synth keyboards. and was looking for a rack sub mixer for the three modules, each with stereo outputs to free channels on my SSL BiG SiX mixer.This does the job very well with the one remaining stereo input free for another instrument. Sadly the four mono channels lack a pan control but could be used for a further 4 mono synths albeit all in the centre of the stereo field. With such a setup you would then be able exploit the onboard effects and EQ that are not present on say an ARP Odyssey module.There are more and less expensive and options available for solving this common studio problem, but even though it probably wasn't intended for the job I wanted it to do, I suspect it does it better than any of the alternatives, with EQ and Effects included on all channels.
