It’s also a 128-channel (64x64) bidirectional USB audio interface with vintage-modeled dynamics and EQ plug-ins on every input and bus.
With 16 FlexMixes configurable as auxes, subgroups, or matrix mixes, plus four effects buses and four subgroups, routing adapts to any workflow. 24 DCAs provide fast, flexible group control.
