Xone DB4!
Xone DB4! Posted on: 25.12.2010 by Brant Briski finally arrived in BKK after being stuck in paris for the past 4 days.just finished a new traktor map and ready for our gig with montonn jira and joni anwar toevening . it came as a surprise that i was able to map all the main functions i use from my 4D/1D+2D tsi's to the 6 buttons in the fx section and the rotary encoder. all the led's are midi mappable too, so feedback of different states is very easy. the addition of ms delay mode is incredible, kill send is now a mode option, fx are way beyond everything else. audio demos and templates coming soon! amazing! | |
| Felipe Rasper 25.03.2011 | I just hope it's affordable and still has the awesome EQ section, soundcard and matrix input hope so, they can ditch the looper tough. |
| Patty Mcgilbra 25.03.2011 | and lose one of the filters like going from 92 to 42? reduce the advanced efx part on the right and you might be able to reduce it's size a bit by moving stuff around... I just hope it's affordable and still has the awesome EQ section, soundcard and matrix input |
| Felipe Rasper 25.03.2011 | yes, that's what i believe their aming at. |

| Branden Wentler 24.03.2011 | seriously doubt it's a 4-chan. just doesn't make any sense given the name scheme. My guess it's 2 channels with all the other features...maybe a dumbed down EFX section? |
| Yevette Matatall 24.03.2011 | MIx arc.... Where do I get one in either Australia or Indonesia? |
| Felipe Rasper 23.03.2011 | Little Photoshop i made of my idea : |
| Felipe Rasper 23.03.2011 | DB4 = 4 x FX section. DB2 = 2 x FX section. |

| Felipe Rasper 22.03.2011 | I believe/hope: 3 band eq (switchable to filter) input Matrix 2 x Effect sections (like the Evo 4) 2 x Filter sections 4 channels and an audio interface. no looper. |
| Dj Spaceexplosion 22.03.2011 | gonna b SWEEET |
| Felipe Rasper 20.03.2011 | And finally some proof of a forthcoming Xone: DB2 : http://www.starpoint.de/allen-heath-xone-db2.html The German Distributor of A&H has a Link to it on their website, no specs yet... It seems to be a 4 channel mixer. |
| Branden Wentler 07.02.2011 | I've such a massive for this mixer. I can't wait to get one next summer. Thanks for sharing the tsi! I google search DB4 at least once a week to look at it. |
| Rhona Naron 07.02.2011 | nope, do that shit all the time |
| Danae Dumler 08.02.2011 | Is it wrong that I pore over the PDFs for these mappings religiously even though I can't afford a DB4? |
| Rhona Naron 08.02.2011 | thing looks like it could control the Starship Enterprise. Congrats on your purchase I can't wait to fucking try that thing out at a store let alone OWN one. |
| Ella Rick 07.02.2011 | Nice mixer...I want one, but at |
| Felipe Rasper 07.02.2011 | Thanx ! |

| Brant Briski 01.01.2011 | here's an update to the tsi that fixes a minor bit: http://www.mixarchitekt.com/teknik/x...neDB4-v12a.zip and if you'd just like to take a look at the template as a pdf, here it is: http://www.mixarchitekt.com/teknik/x...B4tsi-v12a.pdf interestingly enough if you set an input to analog or digital, engage bit bash as your effect, it will generate a bunch of noise when no signal is present. you can then switch the eq to dual filter mode and shape the noise into an hf blast or sweep the low pass with max resonance into some crazy rumbles... there are a few variations on tonality to the noise relative to the input on the analogue side, and digital gain can create some unpredictable artifacts. |
| Brunilda Kora 26.12.2010 | Mixer manufacturers MUST STOP putting buttons next to the cross fader! No point of a cross fader that you can't use. I know a lot of DJ's scratch with their wrist, but I use my fingers, and tend to rest a couple of fingers ON the mixer next to the cross fader while I scratch. /rant. |
| Brant Briski 26.12.2010 | the x-fader is being removed... not really my thing. the knobs are great and the back light on the eq section is a nice feature. the big dry/wet rotary is totally crazy, and the rest you'll find a familiar feeling if you're a d-series user. much to my surprise, it's incredibly functional as an all in one solution for controlling traktor. by using a few modifiers to create two layers, i've got the basic transport, prev/next cue, and loop functions on the first layer in midi shift mode, then created a second layer that offers sync, pitch bend, move modes <>, and master tempo adjustment. led feedback on the fx type buttons is also mappable, so it's easy to establish a different visual state for the layers. it performed flawlessly on our gig last evening for both control and mixing duties; i ran strictly in the domain of the db4, while montonn and joni had a second traktor setup paired with a 1D+2D, and a machine drum. we didn't sync through midi, just pitched the machines up and down... it was a scenario where the matrix inputs came in very handy. we could switch between all the different inputs and be on which ever physical faders we wanted to be. kind of obvious but very relevant and functional in context. :-) |
| Jacquiline Dua 26.12.2010 | awesome! I have mine on preorder for a month now! time to toss the xone 92 |

| May Artman 25.12.2010 | Nice looking piece of kit, but what happened to the crossfader in the first shot? |
| Carli Halsall 25.12.2010 | nice pictures, that thing does look very good. |
| Branden Wentler 26.12.2010 | nice man. I'm gonna buy one next year when I get back home. Are the knobs pretty smooth and solid? I always thought the EQ knobs on my 92 felt a tad shakey. |
| Brant Briski 25.12.2010 | finished early this morning... :-) http://www.mixarchitekt.com/teknik/x...oneDB4-v12.zip |
| Maisie Marras 25.12.2010 | this is what came to mind aston martin db4 |
