Haven’t seen anything posted on this yet but I’m very intrigued. Anyone at superbooth that has more info?

This looks great! Bébé sized but has both aux sends and tilting EQ
Are the input channels mono only though?

Looks like stereo. You can see that there are two inputs like two stacked rows if inputs in the back.

This is extremely musical looking. My only criticism is the mute switches are so small, hard to read in the dark. Sort of wish they’d use a blinking red light or something to show that channel is muted. But this looks like a great mixer, tilting EQ is underused.

Tilting EQ is pretty handy. Only times when I feel like its not enough is when the input channel is a groovebox with only a single stereo out, since you cannot do the “smiley curve” boost EQ with one. For a mix where stuff is more spread out across the channels, tilting EQ is totally enough to get by IME

Thanks! Looks really promising and with 2 stereo aux its ticks a lot of boxes. Hopefully price will be reasonable.

Balanced I/O? I like the sound of that!
How many dBu’s the inputs can handle?
send to filter on every track expands the appeal of this one considerably (Bébé looks pink with jealousy right now…)
Oooh super interesting!
[Edit] God damn, it’s exactly the mixer I want.

I imagine quite a lot as it’s coming from a modular company.
This thing looks seriously useful. It’s exactly the kind of thing Mackie should be making these days.

Yeah this will replace my 1202 if the price is right

looks great! and looks very solidly built. no controls for the external ins (i.e. aux returns) is a bit of an odd choice. but at least it has something for the aux returns! I hate mixers where you have to sacrifice entire channels just for aux returns. but this is funny because their Cascadia has controls for send, return, level selection, and wet/dry. here you just have to live with send. 
I know how I would use it, but I’d like to see them discuss it, and hear what their envisioned use-case is for it.
also how often do we see mixers with an odd number of channels?

Dedicated aux returns are only useful if your fx unit is fully featured enough (ie has some EQ or filtering for the wet signal). Still, nice to see them here since the channel count is so low (especially if these are stereo returns).
Perhaps a better use case for the fx returns will be using them with stereo gear which has decent enough internal processing (master eq etc), and then blowing two channels of the regular inputs for fx returns? This allows both feedback via aux sends as well as tilt eqing and filtering…
I like it. Clean design. Would like to hear how it sounds. Might have liked to see a second headphone out.

My master sounds mixer is set up in a similar way with the way the aux send is set up. It does indeed limit your choices of what will work. Something like the korg nts1 just doesn’t have the gain/headroom to keep up, some stuff doesn’t have a full wet mode. But yeah the right fx will work great. This actually has me tempted for sure. Would love to see essentially this mixer but with modulation options for pan and for level.

This is killer.
According to Oora, the price is around $600.

If true, that’s a mighty tempting mixer solution.

If that price is correct, I am probably buying this and backing off from upgrading my interface. This will not only cost me less, but also suit my workflow better.
Regarding AUXes having dedicated return, while I get that not everyone’s workflow is similar, for me that is not an issue, since I love having full channel for FX return.
I need to sleep few nights before pulling the trigger to calm down any unseen enthusiasm.
