Akai Professional’s new MIDImix doubles as both a mixer and software controller. It has all the standard features of a MIDI controller with nine faders (one master fader), 24 knobs (three per channel), 16 buttons for mute/solo/record arm and one-to-one mapping to Ableton Live (Live Lite included). With the press of a button, you can send all parameters from the mixer right into your DAW allowing you to mix and modify/manipulate your projects concurrently in real time, giving you a much wider array of creative options as a result of the greater flexibility afforded by MIDImix. And the best part? RRP is under USD$100.
