Using the Saffire PRO 26 in stand-alone mode
The Saffire PRO 26 has the ability to store a mix configuration defined in Saffire MixControl within the hardware. This feature lets
you configure it – for example, as an on-stage keyboard mixer – using your computer, and then upload the configuration to the device
itself. Then you can use the Saffire PRO 26 as a simple local mixer as part of your keyboard rig to control the overall mix of multiple
keyboards.

In the example illustrated, three stereo keyboards are connected to the inputs of the Saffire PRO 26; Line Outputs 1 and 2 go to the
main PA system. The performer can adjust the volume of two of the keyboards against the third from the front panel; he/she can
also adjust the overall level of the keyboard mix.
Greater flexibility of on-stage mixing could be achieved by connecting an OctoPre MkII via the optical ADAT port, as in the previous
example; all keyboard sources could be connected to the OctoPre MkII, providing full pre-input level control.
