Great ! I think i have found the mixer i was looking for when rooting stereo buses from samplitude ... Seems very handy !

Just one question though : for bigger projects how is it possible to cascade several mixers ? I mean, as i used to mix within my big scope mixer, what would be your advice ? This new mixer could be dedicated to the stereo buses from samplitude (here sampler + stylus RMX + vsti) and another one would focus on mono channels on which i will apply scope effects ... I have never tried to put several mixers in one project so ... any workaround against side effects ? thanks !

PS : Man i need a third screen ! and a Beringher BCF2000 too !

The version that are currently released allows chaining of Aux (by sending the aux out of a mixer to the other mixer aux returns inputs, like with any other mixer) and opening of other mixers' panels with the "p" buttons.
Then you can also plug the master out of one of the mixer to the tape in channels of the other mixer (or to any stereo input).
- If people are interested in chaining mixer, I can easily upload a version with the aux returns input at the top (to plug to aux send at the bottom) or at the right.... Same with FB5/V82 (but not as a demo).
- I didn't include the solo linkers yet (allows linking the solo status and kill solo features)....
-the number of mixers that can be chained depends only on one's ability to bear the augmentation of cable connections in the project window.

by the way.
- demos were re-uploaded yesterday (the sound was scrambled in the first demos two days ago). You have the latest demo if the zip includes the colors and lights presets.
- normal price of the mixers should be 67. not sure yet when i change the current price.
- coupons for spacef users is now 15% (instead of...14
- another thing that can be customized is the number of LCD colors and light channels. I will wait for users to see with them if necessary and which LCD to keep/remove. The LCD/graph/hi res potis do not really take ressources, but they make the device a little bit longer to load (mainly because of the 69 image potis. The lights/colors LCD are equivalent to 5 or 6 of those, ie, not much.

Coolness.

Great! I've been waiting for these for some time! Now I can retire my beloved mc2, as 10 stereo channels seems to be the magic number for my productions!

Congratulations, Mehdi! great work, as usual

I hate to be a ball buster Mehdi, but could you post a pic when you get a chance of how to use either of these connected to the V82.

I'm thinking that would be a great combo.

VP2?
i guess it is one of your midi box (i thought it was "fp8") but can't remember a link or the manufacturer... Please refresh my memory so i can have a look...

Your V82,...............Sorry.

for example, the FP104 and the v82 give 12 mono, 14 stereo channels (10+2 on fp104, 2 on v82) . with FP106 its 14 mono/14 stereo

here is an example with 32 asio channels. V82 connected to FP104 tape in. then dragged to the left for better cable graphics. the "panel remote" of both mixers are connected together.

The aux effects are on the fp104 here. If someone wants to chain 3 mixers, then the 3rd mixer's output go to FP104 tape2, and the aux out of the 3rd mixer simply go to the aux retur inputs of the V82.

Please note that I should release variations that allow cleaner projects....

Very cool Mehdi.

Keep up the great work!!

i don't think i am any god or godess, or if i was one, i would be one with no ftp server this week end (and the 7th day, he had to rest.... because the ftp was not working...)


Uploaded in user area:
- FP Mixers with aux returns at the top.
- tutorial about chaining mixers: this page

Awesome, I await the next in the series.

thanks again for your tutorials ! I have definitly found my mixer set up ! And the keymaster (Ralf) is back so i will test those monsters next week-end !

FP104/106 - V 1.1 available in user area.
V 1.1 is an essential update for FP104 (insert 2 fix).

- One single download including version with aux returns on top.
- changed demos too ( demo v1.1).

Of course, previous preset/midi controller presets are fully compatible with the new version.
