Rack ears for my Xite 2
Posted: Fri Jul 21, 2017 12:54 pm
I might be posting in the wrong section, but there is something bothering me about my imaginary Xite 2. I am happy with the unit as I imagine it, but where the F are the rack ears??
I couldn't be happier in general though. Introducing the new Scope X platform, SC finally cut its ties with backward compatibility. The OS is running off the Xite itself, only externally linked to daw via USB-C or WiFi. This means it can be utilized standalone as well, and with its integrated sequencer and the top mounted 16 CV i/o's, both euro rack standard and syncable with most new "boutique" synths such as the SE-02, it can become the heart of any studio, while leaving your daw to do more important stuff such as facebook or pornhub.
I love the fact that while it features a touchscreen, it also features a touch pad for navigating. This comes to handy when you enter "studio mode", where you get a similar screen experience as you did with the classic Scope Fusion Platform. Also note you can add a wireless mouse and a HDMI screen (via displayport) for convenience. However, when you switch to "Live mode", the touch pad becomes an XY controller, freely routable as everything else on this magnificent controller, which by the way features a ribbon controller in addition to the 16 freely assignable knobs knobs and numerous buttons.
Now of course i know the DSP power and I/Os are limited in this unit compared to the Xite 1, due to space & heat issues. But seeing how affordable the expansion units are, be it the DSP banks or the IO expanders, I will be upgrading shortly (in the imaginary future). BUT PLS SUPPLY RACK EARRS!!
