    Hi mate,
    Sorry for reincarnating the old thread. I hope you have found how to do it.
    I am currently looking for a mixing desk that will perfectly suit my needs in my studio.
    At the moment I have several synths and drum machines and octatrack as a core for my setup. I struggle with the audio routing and currently using small mixers to merge synth and drums seperatly into two stereo inputs of the octatrack.
    Ideally, now with the mixing desk I would like to route all my gear through ableton for fx infividually each device (arriving post eq and fader) and then simultaneously send them back to the same channels on the desk where I can mix (also curious if I can send the Master in ableton to LR on the desk directly). The idea in all that is I want to have subgroups/mixes of my gear and send them to 2 stereo channels on octatrack to be remixed resampled or whatsoever. Do you know also (if all the previous things I explained are possible) if the subgroup mixes are post fader and eq as I will basically use them as main outs? Can I add fx from the device on the subgroups too?
    Another one that eventually I cant find a clear answer on web is about the soft synths. Am I gonna be able to for example have 16 input hardware instruments and then another 5 soft synths comming in from ableton ? From what I know the desk is capable of 22 channels of streaming simultaneously.
    Thank you in advance,
    Chavdar

    Hi mate,
    I don’t own the mixing console, but I am looking to buy one and doing my research now. My opinion in your case I think you have midi loop somewhere. There should be a thru option in the preferences which needs to be turned off as it otherwise sends out the midi signal that comes in right away. In your case back to Cubase which triggers the PC. Or once your done with all the transfers just turn off the midi in on Cubase or midi out on the console (if exists).
    It also may need only program change command instead of all. It may send out all the data but it doesn’t necessarily need it for recall if its all stored in a program change preset first place.
    I hope that helps.
