Re: Mixer with MIDI scene recall

[Greg Mills <gregmills@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Actually Dan, I overlooked your earlier suggestion of the Yamaha 01x. After
looking around at the second-hand prices and reading the manual, I think
that might be the type of unit I need. I've got a TC Fireworx, which will
interface via the digital send/receive, and I think it may help to sort out
some of the MIDI connectivity problems I'm facing as well. Thanks for the
suggestion.
