Application 3 - Using the MPL 1640 as a keyboard submixer

Here, various keyboards and MIDI tone generators are connected to various line inputs of the MPL 1640. Signal proces- sors are connected to Aux sends and returns and to channel inserts as required. The Main Mix output is routed to stereo input channels of a live performance or recording mixing console, with the performer having complete control over the blend of signals being provided to the sound engineer.
