Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 - Stand-alone Mixer Operation

Using the Scarlett 6i6 as a stand-alone mixer
NOTE: This additional Scarlett 6i6 feature is available as a
downloadable software update from www.focusrite.com/downloads
The Scarlett 6i6 has the ability to store a mix configuration defined in Scarlett 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 Scarlett 6i6
as a simple local mixer as part of your keyboard rig to control the overall mix of multiple keyboards.

In the example illustrated, two stereo and two mono keyboards are connected to the six inputs of the
Scarlett 6i6; Outputs 1 and 2 go to the main PA system. The player can set up a rough keyboard mix
in Scarlett Mix Control and then adjust the levels of the two mono sources against the stereo ones
from the front panel.
