as half suspected only the faders, mute & pan buttons send data. Just checked again to see which controls send data via midi. also, going along that path - it could be possible to save 'label bars' for each show/gig/setup the desk is used in.Īs vagely mentioned - The desk has full midi automation built in (with the ability to record automation internally - to a memory card). saves getting out that masking tape & pen ). but could also leave an option for developing a 'Channel Label Bar' in Mixer Mode. They could not only directly communicate the information for the 16 sliders in LC/MCU mode. If (2x) 2x40 or 4X40 displays are used (& situated) below the faders. basically the point being to avoid building more hardware than is actally needed whilst maximising the usefullness of a digital desk. I'm sure this principle coule be adapted for people that already own other desks. Given that this very flexable, clean desk can be had for £399 & given more than one purpose. by switching the desk control plane over to control the 16 additonal channels that the desk doesnt have built in by default it is possible to use it as a digital mixer & switch between LC/MCU & MIXER mode at the press of one button on the desk !Īlso i beleive that the desk will receive signals to set the fader positions & encoder dial positions.thus complete interface integration should be possible without any comprimses of any major consiquence. So how about rigging up a MIDIBOX LC/MCU with just the displays (and any non duplicable controls built in) & have it accept the desks signals on one side through the program layer usually used to map to the in built button controls of a typical MIDIBOX LC/MCU.Īdditionally. Although it is possible to setup most sequencers to accept the midi signals that the desk sends to control them - it does not provide the full ammount of flexability that the LC/MCU appears to. and figured that it would make a great control surface for applying to the LC/MCU type applications. I have a Behringer DDX3216 Digital mixer here. If i can get to grips with app writing for MIOS anytime soon. But, I guess if you want to make the comparison, we are going to need to add in a few things.Something which i may undertake myself. Just don't judge purchasing this unit solely on it's lo-ball price and its cosmetically appealing looks.The Mackie CFX isn't even remotely similar to the Behringer DDX console Mr.NoIQ. Check out ease of operation and overall perf then decide. Listen for any signal degradation when any particular channel fader is raised past unity. Listen for any unwanted signal noise from the pre's using a simple dynamic. Sure, go on ahead and A/B this unit vs other similarly-priced gear.If at all possible, try to perform a comparison using the DDX and say for ex, a Mackie CFX, thru the same set of monitors. Just don't judge purchasing this unit solely on it's lo-ball price and its cosmetically appealing looks.
