When Abstractions Break
When I wrote my preview DigiMixer post, I was awaiting the arrival of my latest mixer: a Behringer Wing Rack. It arrived a few days later, and I’m pleased to say it didn’t take long to …
This has a preset pair of channel IDs (100 and 101), and the X-Touch Mini integration does treat this specially, with an assumption that the rotary encoders at the top should be used to control the main level for each input. All of this can be represented in DigiMixer – we can add a “fake” output channel for Main LR – and indeed it’s useful to do so, as the sort of “primary input” fader adjusted with the rotary encoders on the X-Touch Mini. Expanding the abstraction to fit perfectly with the Wing risks making life harder later, when there’s another mixer which breaks the model in some slightly different way.
