The Mixer Void

That would be sick! Good name too.
For a while I pursued the idea with friends who build stuff for a living.
Lars from LZX kind of broke it down for me.
Even for seasoned builders it sounds complicated and expensive to build a mixer.

I still think about it a lot tho.
Again I’d love to see Elektron make an offering.
Something from Sequential might be cool too.
They seem to make efficient user friendly choices in compact forms

I do like how this thread churned out many options.
Some I certainly missed, a few I never considered.

So that’s mean we have, hold on, let me get out the calculator….about $40 bucks. By my rough estimates, we are halfway there.

There was a crew in Bristol that ran this system, stunning!

Back on mixers: I’m interested in one of these (2nd Hand), but with the analog I/O’s, not the Firewire version:

Just to add it, the denon prime 4+ supports stems standalone, and it supports abelton link, pairing is shown in the video.

Not sure if it can loop the analogue inputs.

They do speakers, so not a problem. On the paperwork we’lll just extend our name to VOID Mixers Not Speakers Like That Other Company.

Dev joke? :grimacing:

So ugly :sob:

A club around the corner runs these. I feel like I’m in teletubby land every time. Just wish their “technicians” knew how to use them.

Ok sorry for the digression folks…

I love the design, throwback to older horns, but it’s all subjective. They sound great when properly run (same with any brand really)…

I read ‘Elektron should make this mixer’ quite regularly, which I get, but the reality is they’ve never made a dedicated mixer and it’s a different kettle of fish to what they do ordinarily.

It’s interesting to look at companies who COULD make this void mixer based on experience and past products… and it only points to TWO contenders in my mind;

  • Allen & Heath
  • Roland

A&H have all the mixer tech we would like to see in the void mixer scattered across multiple mixers they make or have made… really, IMO, the dream void mixer lies in their hands.

Roland have the history/heritage of performance mixers and of mixers geared more towards music makers than engineers… think of the Roland M and V series mixers, the MX-1, the older VS’s too… they’ve got what’s needed to make a great void mixer… it would probably just be way more complicated to use with multiple shortcuts to learn compared to what A&H would do.

Maybe an Elektron, Allen Heath collaborative effort.
Allen & Heath definitely make a solid built and better sounding mixer than most.
I would throw Pioneer in mix too.
I’m not crazy about their hardware but maybe they would branch out :man_shrugging:
Seems like Ableton could make an offering as well, maybe not analog, and definitely not Push 4. Maybe something that reflects using their software as a mixer, with full size jacks.

That is absolutely disgusting

It really doesn’t matter if someone’s using the name “Void,” we got 40 bucks!
Let’s roll
