When all components of the SX-1’s digital console are considered… 40 input/8 bus architecture, touch-sensitive motorized 100mm faders, name brand onboard effects, highly sophisticated automation, extremely flexible signal routing, surround mixing, etc. — the SX-1 is clearly a remarkable value.

A Professional 128-track Sequencer
Another of the SX-1’s impressive features is the onboard, 128-track professional sequencer, which is tightly integrated with the onboard multitrack recorder. The SX-1 has the ability to import/export Standard MIDI Files. Nearly all the features that users have come to expect from DAW- based sequencers are included in the SX- 1’s MIDI engine. In addition to standard
features such as Cut/Copy/Paste, professional users will appreciate advanced features such as Step Record, non-destructive Quantize and Transpose, MIDI crescendo, MIDI reverse play, and Ripple edit- ing modes.
The SX-1 is the only machine ever built that achieves this level of MIDI integration. It is important to note that the SX-1’s sequencer does not operate in isolation. The sequencer actually runs the automation for the mixing console. Because the playback timing of MIDI events is derived from the sample engine of the hard disk recorder, the timing is supremely accurate and should impress even the most hardened MIDI veterans.

Dedicated Multichannel Stem Recorder for Surround Mixing
The SX-1 features a 6-channel stem recorder for surround mastering applications. Mastering tracks can be polished with outboard com- pression, EQ, spatial effects and more, using the SX-1’s powerful insert routing. The stem recorder records files in either Mac Sound Designer II or PC Broadcast WAV formats. By writing in the two indus- try-standard files formats to removable SCSI drives, the SX-1’s master files can be taken to virtually any computer-based DAW for further editing and sweetening without need for time-wasting file transfers. The stem recorder is also used as the 2-track mixdown recorder. After mixing down, you can take those masters and burn them to a Red Book audio CD via the SX-1's built-in CD-RW drive.
