Edirol’s groundbreaking M-16DX is a powerful combination of digital mixer, multi-i/o computer interface, and production console packed with effects and features. But with its latest version 2 software, the unit has now become a software control surface as well. The M-16DX is an amazing digital production console packed with high-quality features including a total of 18 inputs, mixing, 24/96 processing, a 3-band sweepable EQ, and three pro-quality effects. All of this is integrated into a design that enables the main breakout box to be housed away from the control surface for maximum ease of use. The console is proving to be hugely popular and very useful in a number of applications, and, with the brand-new software, you can access Cakewalk, SONAR, and Apple Logic modes that enable these powerful DAWs to be controlled right out of the box with the knobs on the hardware assigning to their equivalent software controllers at the touch of a button. In Logic, for example, the hardware M-16DX appears in the software’s list of compatible controllers and the equivalent controls are tied together automatically once it’s selected. In both SONAR and Logic, the controls are assigned in an intuituve way so that users will quickly be able to navigate around their chosen software. The version 2 software can also be used to control other software that has MIDI learn facilities, such as Reason, Live,
and many soft synths. Registered owners of the M-16DX can download the upgrade free.
