The Poly Beebo pedal has 4 ins and 4 outs configurable in any which way + fx synth drum midi up the wazoo. Would work as a super flexible compact option for expanding OT inputs (and outputs).
Does the stereo buttons on each channel unify the two mono outputs to one stereo input properly panned left and right?
I believe that the per channel mono/stereo is for accepting a single stereo TRS then distributing it to the two outputs. I don’t own any synths that send stereo on a single cable so I’ve never tested it to see if it works. Inputs 1-4 go to output A, 5-8 go to output B, and you can press the Channel Mix button to flatten all 8 inputs to Mono or Dual-Mono.
Is the humming/noise that reviwers on Amazon report a problem you have experienced?
Definitely not the quietest thing I own. Running off a USB hub with a bunch of synths introduced noise that could be noticed when everything was shut off, but running it from an isolated powerbar w/USB was acceptable for my uses. It might be a bit too noisy for studio use where comp/limiting could elevate the noise floor, but for OP’s live usecase, I don’t think it would be an issue (it wasn’t for me).
Thanks braken.
If only Teenage Engineering’s TX-6 was a little bigger and accepted 1/4-inch jacks so you wouldn’t need adapters I think it would be a great choice for gigs. But I can’t show up at a venue with that tiny mixer full of adapters.
I own the Split Mix 4 posted above but I don’t use it because of the stereo cables required to use it.
