Rme UFX+ has 12 inputs 
I donāt expect TX-6 to have better latency. Iāve just wondered if it was possible to comfortably trigger Ableton drums or a latency was too big. Thereās no info about the latency on TE website which probably isnāt a good sign

Im far from an expert on audio quality, But for what i have done with it i think it sounds great.
I think my main draw is how incredbly simple it is to use and the small footprintā¦ i rarely use the internal effects, but i very often multitrack record into my phone and for me it just works.
i think the inputs are a bit easy to distort though and not in that pleasant way.

Itās great. Iāve done full releases on it and am very happy with the results. Some argue, the 1010 bluebox is slightly sharper and I would have to agree, in terms of it having four band eq and way more flexible effects.
But yeah, overall, itās just great.

I like the tx6 but I have a problem using it with iPhone.
The tx6 requires direct connection, it canāt connect to iOS through a hub. But it doesnāt have midi. I want usb midi and usb audio into my iPhone. This is important for things likeā¦ synced recording of eg octatrack into loopy pro.
(For context, there is no way Iām putting up with Bluetooth midi, been there, itās endless faff about pairing, menu diving to make the connection, irregular performance for sync, etc.)
Any ideas? Can tx6 tolerate a usbc hub on iphone 15? (It canāt tolerate a hub on iPhone 12, because it doesnāt tolerate camera connection kit lightning to usb adaptor, only a direct connection).
Im sure it has USB MIDI as ive used my Mac to sequence the built in TX-6 drums etc

Hello,
Yesterday I had a lot of fun mixing live with TX6 in 12 mode in from AUM on the iPad. However, how do we record in this mode? We can record only the main output from the TX6 to a recorder not the individual stems right?
Thanks in advance for the advice!
TE recommend Kingston Nucleum for their productsā¦ if Im not misstanken tX-6 can handle two USB streams.
AUM Recording š«£
I am using the mode where the TX6 is used to mix the different AUM tracks with TX6 filters and so on. When recording in AUM it doesnāt take into account real time TX6 mixing
The mode at 52:50 in Cuckoo video:
I think it doesnāt record by track then
Edit: I found a solution by audio looping the headphone output to an audio channel to be recorded in AUM and I mute this channel on TX6
Would tx-6 work well if was thinking to connect my synths to my audio interface and then output from that one in to tx6 and send on the aux to outboard fx pedals and back to tx-6 and then main out from tx-6 to the audio interface thats connected to studio monitors?
That should work. Or plug in the synths to the TX-6 directly, saves an A/D D/A conversion; with one stereo FX in you have 4 stereo or 8 mono inputs available.

Yeah but the slim 3,5mm cables for tx-6 is so short they dont reach my synths, so was thinking the regular cables go to the interface then out to the mixer with those small slim cables. Maby works to get a patchbay instead of using the interfaceā¦

I use mine with a simple & affordable Neutrik NYS-SPP-L1 patch bay, using 3.5mm TRS to 6.3mm TRS cable to connect the TX-6 to the Neutrik, and 6.3mm TRS to dual 6.3mm TS cables to my synths/sources. You can also patch inputs/outputs using a single TRS cable. Itās a pity the TX-6 isnāt balanced but for short cable lengths it doesnāt really matter.

Ā£884 on Amazon UK if someone is still looking for one in the UK:

I hope these links donāt annoy too many people, but Scandinavian Photo is currently offering the TX-6 for 765ā¬, including VAT. If you live outside the Nordics, you can simply email them to get a quote.
Nice of Cuckoo to have shared the news about that chain heavily discounting TE hardware.
So my TX-6 BLE just isnāt working anymore after many attempts. I did a reset, upgraded the firmware, tried connecting with the phone and BLE device, nothing. Anyone else having issues with BLE?
I need to test mine out with a patch bay to use longer cables
Just a heads upā¦ I got a Nucleum, but no dice. Tried everything, but canāt get multiple audio streams nor 1 usb audio stream and usb audio recording at the same time going with this hub.
If anyone knows a hub that does work with the TX-6 and is able to use multiple USB audio streams I would love to know.
Thanks for letting us know!
Edit: did you get external power into it btw?
Yes, without power the hub didnāt do anything at all except making a high pitched noise
