So I have two 12 channel xenyx fx mixers handling the mix job for the following:
MV8800
Virus Ti2
Minibrute
Modular
3x Moog Mother 32's
Waldorf Blofeld
JV 1010
Novation KS4
iPad Air 2 on Griffin Dock (used for synth apps as a module)
Gotharman Little DeFormer 2 Expanded Grain Sampler/FX module
Every time I need to adjust my mix, I'm crawling on the floor to turn knobs. All my deskspace is used up for synths and modules. My first xenyx is non-USB and the mix from that sent to stereo channel on 2nd Xenyx mixer (so first is a sub-mix really) and then out to monitors.
Just saw Behringers Air X series which have an 18 channel, 16 channel, or 12 channel version that lets you plug in all your inputs, has built in Midas preamps, 4 fx processors, and all controlled by an app which they have versions for Android, iOS, PC, and Mac.
No mix controls on actual unit. Has its own built in wireless access point, has ethernet if needed, has midi in/out, xlr type outputs to monitors, Phantom power, aux sends
App controls all mix functions and indivdual inputs can be grouped in software to work under single fader control, like bringing two mono to single stereo.
I can keep sitting comfortably or even walk around while my mix is playing and adjust everything from my phone or tablet or laptop. Nice. Reasonably priced too.
Getting one and losing my old mixers for sure.
