Roland MX-1
Mix Performer
Setup and Configure
I have mentioned many times on my YouTube channel that the MX-1 is the mixed up mixer. People really don't understand where this mixer fits within their setup, being DAW based or DAWless.
A lot of this confusion is the mixture of inputs and functions that the MX-1 provides the user with.
- Do you want to operate the mixer as a mixer (and why would you want to do that)? As a surface integrated to your favoured DAW? Or as an input to your computer setup? The latter being the mode that I operate my MX-1 mixer in.
- Is this device the master clock source or a slave to another device?
- Are you going to operate the MX-1 mixer as a USB hub?
- Do you want to operate the MX-1 Mixer with you current brand of computer?
I have had to answer many of these questions when I integrated the MX-1 mixer into my setup. I initially purchased the MX-1 Mixer to act as the bridge between the Roland TR-8, Roland TB-3 and Roland System-1 instruments that natively integrate with the MX-1 mixer using 3 of the 4 USB sockets that are on the rear of the unit. But then found other uses for the MX-1 Mixer.
Over the past few years I have recorded a number of videos covering various aspects of setting up and configuring my Roland MX-1. The links to these video are below on this page.
