Dramatic. Rhythmically. Obtain the desired effect

There is no doubt about the fact that effects play a very important role in creating a certain atmosphere, and define your sound. The MX-1 integrates effects on an exciting new way.

These effects are applied by utilizing the sixteen-step sequencer buttons in TR-style, as can also be found on famous drum machines from Roland. This allows you to filter each channel separately, ducking or slicing; which can cause lots of cool rhythmic variations, polyrhythms and all kinds of complex grooves. FX can beat each channel instant switched on and off via separate, clearly illuminated buttons. Master FX-six species, each with different variations, such as any channel or all channels together with some additional seasoning. The large control knob allows the effects are also extremely playable. The Master FX-types can even be combined with a step-sequencer in different ways, so that there is remarkable sound, jagged movements and interludes can be created. When you hear these, you immediately verk (s) Morning!

Loves computers. But also perfectly usable solo

Computers already play an important role in music production, but they are also performances ever grander. Yet they can not always easily be used with other live instruments, and they require their own interface and controller. The MX-1 solves all these problems at once, because he can operate in three different modes. The Control Surface mode synchronizes the MX-1 to your computer and functions as a high-quality MIDI controller for your DAW. Very cool. But it gets even more interesting ... In the mixer mode, the MX-1 can mix all connected audio sources, including all analog and digital inputs, you AIRA material and the audio output of your computer. And, even if there is to send a special channel reserved for the stereo output of your computer, so you can also computer audio to the USB channels (1 to 4), when there are no devices connected to the AIRA Link USB ports. How cool is that? In the External mode, the MX-1 can all be input sources directly into your DAW output, making it acts as a powerful and high-quality audio interface. At the same time he can also receive 18 channels of your DAW and mix through the faders. So you can use the recording, clip triggering- and mixing of your DAW with the cue monitoring, sync and performance optimized effect functions of the MX-1. Frenzied options. Think about the new world that this opens! Even though it makes the MX-1 work with a computer is many times better, he is also seamlessly be used without a PC / Mac. Whether you full manual control over your DAW, or are looking for an isolated out-of-the-box production and performance device: the MX-1 is at home anywhere.

Connect. Link & Sync

Four individual 1/4 jacks to support virtually any instrument, and stereo 1/8-inch jack is perfect for smartphones, tablets and different (musical) gadgets. Four AIRA Link USB ports are also provided to connect to your AIRA material: literally plug and play. The AIRA Link USB port has an automatic detection and can play audio, MIDI, and sync signals processed via a single USB cable. One of the USB ports delivers even bus-stream to a compatible device such as AIRA the TB-3 Touch Bassline or VT-3 Voice Transformer to drive it. AIRA link avoids messy cables, and makes it quick and easy setup. The MX-1 is also fully aware of time, and provides hands-on control to start, stop, tempo and timing.

The mixer. Re-invented as a tool

Although the MX-1 built solid, very flexible and extremely capable; all those mix and effects control capabilities would be completely useless, they could be confusing and cumbersome to use. The ways in which mixing and using effects are implemented in the MX-1, are clever and thought out. Everything is fast, direct and intuitive. More importantly, the MX-1 is musical, and designed to be 'played'. As with all AIRA material, there are the MX-1 no confusing menus or deeply hidden features that unnecessarily slow down your work and play process.
