<div dir="auto">Certainly. Instrument input is very important, which also bring up a point. If a guitarist is using the mixer that guitarist will need some handsfree controls right. I do that currently in my synth rig with pedals that control some functions for me while my hands are occupied.

<p class="MsoNormal">I'm designing a new synth mixer for live performance. I am contemplating only one or two mic inputs. When I perform with synths I'm using a mic that's going into a different mixer that has effects. I may do built in basic effects and
a loop for the mics. I'm focusing on the mic section right now. <u></u><u></u></p>
