chatterbox Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 HI, Looking for a small budget mixer ( 6-8 channels) with on board fx, and midi input, so that the fx can be switched externally via midi. Does anyone know of one? thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Pearce Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Some of the allen and heath mixwiz range may suit your specification, though they're not small small, as they are rack width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Pearce Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I doubt you'll find something small and budget with midi switch effects. Would footswitched effects be a workable compromise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would footswitched effects be a workable compromise? no, the customer wants to do as little as possible on stage... so he will run scs software which will switch the midi, and he only has to start each track - which we will do via a footswitch hooked up to the computer via usb etc.. the only alternative would be a small mixer and a small midi fx unit....

TomHoward Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Could you run the processing on the computer? Depends on the application but if it's to add reverb you might be able to get away with bringing an audio output into the desk to create a wet component to mix with the original. I wouldn't have thought you would want to run the main vocals through an AD-DA process though, depends on application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berry120 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Would one of the original Yamaha 01V's do the trick? You can pick used ones up for pretty cheap on ebay and the likes these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbuckley Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Looking for a small budget mixer ( 6-8 channels) with on board fx, and midi input, so that the fx can be switched externally via midi. The answer is Roland. The old VM-3100 fits the bill exactly, but has been off the market for years. Eight mic channels (two with switchable phantom), and two stereo line ins, and tiny. They still come up on eBay though, with regular monotony, which is where I got mine, for $168 USD plus shipping to NZ. They have global power supplies so you can snag from the USA. The M-16DX and its smaller bretheren are still available, and I think will fit the bill, though you would need to check the MIDI implementation, but I cant imagine it wont be as useful as their older kit.
