Integrate your analogue outboard
Imagine being able to access your favourite combinations of analogue outboard equipment and apply them to your project without ever leaving the console.

The Matrix SuperAnalogue™ router manages the sends and returns of up to 16 outboard processor units together with the assignment of the console’s channel strip insert points. Using the Insert Matrix control panel software, any combination of your outboard gear can be rapidly inserted into any of your console channels, essentially giving you the ability to run your outboard as ‘analogue plug-ins’ within your DAW.

Features

  • Integrated 32x16x16 routing matrix - Say goodbye to complicated patch bays
  • Analogue plug-ins - Insert your analogue outboard into your DAW audio path
  • On-screen control interface - Comprehensive routing control panel runs on your DAW computer
  • Save FX chains and set-ups - Fast configuration and recall of your outboard chains

Control your DAW
At the heart of your studio, Matrix reaches out to give comprehensive control over your DAW environment, reinstating the console to its role as creative hub.

With HUI or MCU modes, the 16 motorised faders and channel controls provide complete hands-on control over your DAW mixer, allowing you to enjoy mixing on a tactile, fully-featured control surface. Additionally, Matrix gives you access to transport & navigation functions, plug-in & virtual instrument parameters, and essential DAW commands, allowing you to work quickly and easily using just the console surface.

For crucial track adjustment, our unique 'Focus Fader' mode enables the Master Fader (and accompanying V-Pot) to control any channel within your DAW environment that is not part of the currently selected layer, perfect for time saving in mixdown.

Features

  • 16+1 fader controller & channel controls - Console control over DAW fader, pan and send levels
  • Ethernet DAW connection - Avoids multiple cables and additional interface boxes
  • Plug-in & virtual instrument control - Map plug-in parameters to faders, V-pots etc. via MIDI
  • Control up to 4 DAWs simultaneously - Work freely in Logic, Cubase, Digital Performer - your choice
  • Programmable soft-keys for DAW shortcuts - Rapid access to essential DAW commands (up to 350 per DAW layer)
  • Full DAW transport control - Punch-friendly controls and navigation wheel

Mixing and Monitoring
It hardly needs to be said, but alongside its integration of your analogue and digital equipment, Matrix is also a first-class SSL mixer drawing on our 30 years of analogue console design.
