New Allen & Heath xone thingy

[Steve Zorilow]

These days, on my bigger show/events, I can't go under a 6 stereo inputs mixer (TSP + Maschine + Ableton running) I really like my XONE:92. Would be soo cool to have the same features (4+4 inputs + 2mic/ stereo return) + built in soudcard, some effects + more MIDI possibilities.... certified or not. two USB for the soundcard?!? OH YEAH, would be sick!

whereas the first movie actually give you a hint of what the new thing is, the second movie just shows a launchpad like grid with 2 knobs.

I was hoping for something that I could use to logically control 8 sample decks with. Oh well, I guess 2 Xone 1:d's are still the perfect vessels for that.

Multi-colored buttons? I'm in.

And you have already decided that?

And you have already decided that?

I said i think!
I dont like the two rotaries there. still opened be to be blown away, but doubt it.

On a serious note, I am curious to see what the x-link incorporation will bring with this apparent controller.

be prepared; it's not what you think it is. :-) see you all in a few days.

I'm officially excited. Aside from the obvious conclusions one could draw from push buttons and rotaries, I wonder how x device could control the mixer and if there is a software front end to program custom controls and hardware behavior.
