General
The Keith McMillan K-Mix neatly rolls up all of the functionality of a mixer, controller, and interface into one tight box that might well be seen as the ultimate holy grail for many a musician. Three tactile tools in one, the most obvious feature of the K-Mix is that the control panel is free of any moving parts. All of the usual, very-breakable faders and infinite encoders have been entirely replaced with touch pads or touch strips controlled by nothing more than the movement of your fingertip, and any movement you make is guided by multi-coloured LED back-lighting which satisfyingly shifts as you tweak this parameter and shape that effect.
The Keith McMillen K-Mix
Use it as a mixer, and you're working with eight jack ports (including a pair of XLR/jack combo ports), enough integrated phantom power to support condenser microphones, and a bank of mixer channels that provide equalisation, compression/limiting, gate and reverb. Set it up to control your DAW software and manipulate virtual parameters using the tactile pads and dials, all without any nasty surprises, and all with the assurance that this chunk of hardware exists simply because Keith McMillen himself wanted to make something that he wished existed - something that wouldn't just be reliable, but 'unbreakable'.
