FAO Rane: Rotary Mixers

[O/][iii][O/] 6:18 PM - 25 October, 2013
When will Rane introduce Serato-approved mixer(s) that incorporate rotary channel faders instead of linear?

How many channels on a rotary would you want?

nice!

but I'm still longing for a "simple" Serato Empath mixer. I think an elegant beast can be made by ditching the internal effects and CUE/LOOP buttons.

3 channels + aux for SP-6

maybe a couple extra controls at the top for browsing and loading tracks.

IMO, the simpler the better. 3 channels would be my ideal mixer. Nice and compact 10" chassis without being cramped. Think along lines of the classic rotary Empath where SDJ could feed channels #1 and #3, and just feed the SDJ sampler into channel #2 (center knob). Removing Dry/Wet sliders to make room for dedicated filter sweep knobs per channel (custom assignable in SDJ for extra points).

see I want 3 full channels and the SP-6 on an separate aux. but it would be nice to be able to assign it. I would love to be able to transform samples on my 62.

i'd rather see a rotary kit for the 64 than a completely new mixer :-)

I'd really like a 4 channel 12 inch rotary to replace my Empath rotary. Other changes besides the extra channel -

- Ditch auto gain
- Ditch mic features
- Either linear slope as stock for all faders or slope adjust for all faders
- More room between eq knobs
- Bigger eq knobs
- Meters for every channel plus main

Bonus

- Master isolator

...and keep it full analog

EmpathSL/R would convince me to get a third, already having an E and an ER.

Same design as the Empath: clean, simple, for the pleasure of mixing. Also, a top-down insert for a choice of fader or rotary (versus the front insert that the Sixty series has).

My wishlist?

- Empath design (3 channel)
- TTM57SL buttons
- SL4 functionality (dual USB, channel for external device and internal recording)
- VU per channel as per TTM57SL
- Slope for ALL channels (that centre channel gives me the whoops)
- Master isolator, that can be wired to individuals channels via FlexFX
- Top-down, drop-in insert for choice of faders or rotaries
