he SX-

LE is a full-featured

digital workstation designed for
musicians and recording profession-
als. Based on the SX-

1

, it provides

professional features like 24-bit re-
cording, 40-input surround mixing,
touch-sensitive moving faders, a VGA
output and 128-track MIDI sequenc-
ing for under $3,000*.

Despite its professional quality

and fl exibility, the SX-

1

LE retains

the ease-of-use that musicians de-
mand. The recording section is de-

channels of digital or analog I/O through
expansion cards. The SX-

1

LE provides a

fl exible signal routing system controlled
by a powerful user interface.

The 128-track MIDI sequencer adds

even more recording capability. With
four MIDI outputs, your arrangements
have access to 64 MIDI channels. The SX-

1

LE’s SMPTE and MIDI timecode inputs

allow synchronization with sequencers,
DAWs or video playback.

A sophisticated 40-input digital

mixing console is integrated with the

SX-

1

LE’s recording section

for seamless operation

and stunning audio

quality. Each of the

32 channel inputs

has powerful

processing
f e a t u r e s
like 3-band

parametric EQ and dynamics, and

can be routed to the 8 buss outputs or
stereo outs. Four stereo effects returns are
provided for the four realtime DSP plug-
ins. The SX-

1

LE can mix in 5.1 surround,

and even has a dedicated 6-channel stem
recorder to capture your mixes.

Each component of the SX-

1

LE was

carefully designed to offer world-class
operation on its own. But with its in-
tuitive design and natural user experi-
ence, the SX-

1

LE is much more than the

sum of its parts. Its user interface was
designed to function as a seamlessly
integrated unit. Audio professionals and
songwriters alike will feel comfortable
relying on the SX-

1

LE for their most im-

portant projects.

signed so that you can begin recording
music after only four button presses.
Its 16-track, 24-bit hard disk recorder
is based on our best-selling MX-2424
recorders for world-class sound qual-
ity and reliability. Virtual tracks, up
to 999, mean that you don’t need to
record over a take to try it again. The
LCD display and VGA monitor output
make it simple to see what you’ve re-
corded and, along with the included
mouse and keyboard, provide an edit-
ing interface to rival high-end digital
workstations.

The SX-

1

LE has a generous amount

of inputs and outputs for large record-
ing sessions. Sixteen great-sounding
XLR microphone inputs with phantom
power are within easy reach. 16 bal-

line inputs, ADAT optical

digital and much more I/O is also
available. You can add up to 24 more
