点评:雅佳临MIDImix

Small, compact, solid and as far from expensive as you can get. The new Akai Pro MIDImix promises to be a worthy mixer for Ableton Live producers and G. W. Childs investigates how it fares.

在音乐的辉煌,以及生产我的枕头堡垒,我发现MIDIMix是一个恒定的资产。在Ableton公司远程脚本的MIDIMix,可悲的是WASN

Can I assume that if all I really want is for the faders to send cc 11 this will work fine with Logic Pro X?

Hey Jay,

Just assigned it to various parameters in Logic Pro X with no difficulty. You should have no problems! :)

Thanks G Dub, I am on this.

I have yet to see a review that really makes sense of the Send All button.What you have mentioned in this review doesn't really make much logical sense either:

-"zeroing current mixes" How ?! Like, by the time you have set all your controls to default/zero on the hardware to send it by the button, you already have zeroed your mix because each time you moved a knob/fader the software has followed so no need to send it anymore!
- "returning settings back to original placements from the night before" - How would that work in reality ? So you would have memorized all the settings on the hardware, then dial them all in on the hardware, then fire up the computer and then send them ? Or is this to describe a scenario where you had decen settings but from a point on didn't use the hardware anymore at all but only the mouse and then later want to revert back to the hardwarw settings ? I don't understand..
- "a cool way of experimenting" Yeah, maybe, except you might experience some sudden and very loud volume jumps that might or might not blow your speakers..

Honestly, all above scenarios don't sound very realistic at all, to be honest they even sound a bit like you just made them up to make some sense of that button ;) I mean, even Akai themselves haven't managed to come up with a real life example where that button could really be helpful.I think it's rather a gimmick they included in order to have *something* to differentiate this product from others no matter how much sense it makes..

Not saying this is a bad product; in fact i think it can be pretty awesome when combined with that Isotonik script that really enhances it's capabilities: http://isotonikstudios.com/sigabort/akai-midimix-xl/

That way, you'd have almost the capabilities of a Launch Control XL for roughly half the price :)
Decent at Best
Would you happen to know if the controls are assignable to parameters in Maschine?
