I couldn't believe I found a quick solution for my gig at the last minute.
I am really pushing the DSP's w/ running 32 MIDI channels, and 2 mixers packed with my favorite FX and FAT BASTARD synths. I found a trick for addressing large amounts of RAM in XP, which worked and has given me the ability to use 2.6GB's of RAM for samples using 4GB's of Samsung PC2-6400. This will hold me over until 64bit apps are stable.
I had to re do my project for 2 MIDI Source modules, 2 mixers, etc.
Painfully I had to replace my favorite mixers to use a low DSP approach for this gig. But it actually worked out very well.
The STM1632 was used to house all hardware and software FX, plus 42 stereo channels routed into 16 stereo channels temporarily.
This left me with Dynamic mixer, that dog didn't hunt, and various other mixers that were overkill. I then realised I remembered Celmos little mixer. Since I only needed a 24bit WAV module, Pro One, B2003, Prowave, Modular, and my external hardware analog it seemed perfect. So for 50 bucks I bought it.
I was impressed right away with the quality of Celmos reverb / delay which has a great vintage sound in the 1st AUX. It can emulate the old Ursa Major and is a very robust effect in itself, well worth the asking price of the mixer. But the 4 stereo and 2 mono configuration was perfect. It also has another AUX for effects where I naturally put a SpaceF delay for the synths, while the reverb is used on the B2003. To top it off, it also has a master out effect insert, which I placed the DAS SL9000 with it's precise gate, and audio tricks.
Do not be fooled by this shy looking device. For those who need a rich reverb derived from multi taps like the Ursa Major, and a low DSP signature, this is perfect for mixing mono and stereo synths. It also allowed me to play music during the breaks w/ Scope FX where I had fun trying to make pre recorded music sound Psychedelic.
