These mixers’ onboard effects rival sophisticated (and expensive) outboard processors and can be used simultaneously without having to give up channels or Auxes. Choose from two types of reverb, chorus, pitch change, and mono or stereo delay. An Effects Wizard helps you decide which effect to choose and where to apply it.
Easy to Learn, Simple to Operate
Touchmix's intuitive workflow and straightforward navigation that doesn’t compromise on any features or capabilities. Choose from Simple Mode (which presents essential controls only) or Advanced Mode (which gives you complete control over all parameters).
Its touch-and-turn interface gives you tactile control over fader and mixer parameters while maintaining a reliable fixed hardware connection.
Compatibility that Lets You Customize Your Mixing Station
Offering the choice between hardware and wireless, this family of mixers includes the TouchMix Control app for iOS and Android devices. This app offers a portable, wireless mixer interface and provides additional control surfaces for the system operator.
For workstations that have multiple users, you can customize access levels and select what sets of mixer controls are available to each user.
Live Multitrack Recording and Playback
Record on all inputs plus a Main or Aux Stereo mix, saving your recording directly to an external USB hard drive—no need to have an external computer hooked up.
For playback, tracks can be mixed down or combined with live inputs as live performance tracks.
