Plastic toy

Sorry Roland but this is not a serious module... made of light plastic and not designed in an ergonomic way.

I needed a complete mixer in my rack and this Roland module is exactly wath I was looking for, packed in a small space: six channels, pan (with CV!), line/mic input, headphones out. It lacks of EQ and send/return sockets, but in 20 hp nobody can ask more. Build quality is top level!!!

To pricey

This module is way to expensive for what it does, both in HP and money.

My bigest complaint is that you have no indication wheter a channel is muted as everything on the module is black and there is no indication that a channel is muted. This is okay in a studio setting but can kill a live show. This was ultimately the reason for me to return the module.

If HP is of no concern to you and you don't mind the mutes this is a great module for you. I'm switching back to a small 6hp knop mixer.
