SX-1

Digital Production Environment

The Vision

Several years ago, the SX-1 design team envisioned a machine that

would combine the power and flexibility of computer-based

recording and editing, MIDI sequencing, hardware surface control,

dynamic mix automation, on-board and plug-in effects, stereo and

surround mixdown, data backup - all of which would be accessible

via a powerful and intuitive user interface. Their vision was to

enable musicians, composers, and music production professionals to

stay focused on the joys of creating and recording music. Their

vision was to incorporate all of the important 21st century tech-

nologies, but eliminate the digital technology conflicts and com-

puter hardware and software incompatibilities that often accom-

pany computer-based systems.

Their vision is now an exciting reality.

The SX-1 offers not only an incredibly powerful feature set, but also

a carefully considered user interface design that ensures smooth

operation, reliability, and ease of use for a host of professional

applications in music composition and production.

A Powerful Mixer

At the core of the SX-1 is a powerful mixer, comprised of a com-

prehensive I/O section that includes both analog and digital inter-

faces. It starts with 16 high quality mic/line inputs with inserts and

phantom power, selectable in groups of four. It also includes 8

channels of ADAT Lightpipe, 2xS/PDIF, and three expansion slots for

up to 24 more channels of I/O (optional additional 8-channel inter-

faces include AES/EBU, TDIF, ADAT and balanced Analog). The

remaining ports include: Word Clock In/Out/Thru, SMPTE In/Out,

Video In and Thru, Ethernet, VGA, 2 MIDI Ins/4 MIDI Outs and Sony

9-pin. There is simply no computer DAW or standalone workstation

on the market with such a comprehensive set of I/O, which also

allows the SX-1 to be used as a mixer for modular digital multi-

tracks, analog multitracks,

video decks, and/or computer

based DAWs.

The console’s design starts

with a 40 input, 32x8x8 archi-

tecture. It has 32 input chan-

nels, with 8 busses and 8

returns. The SX-1’s mixer has

true routing flexibility…you can send nearly any signal anywhere.

For example, you could easily route the talkback mic to the hard

disk recorder for slating or funky tracking. Also, if you own high-

end analog outboard processors (maybe a pair of 1176’s or a

Fairchild 670), you could easily patch them into inserts on any mixer

channel.

The SX-1 takes the digital console concept even further with pres-

tige, name brand, onboard effects by TC Works and Antares. It also

possesses one of the best surround mixing interfaces on the market

today, making routing and creation of 5.1 mixes as easy as a few

button presses.

The SX-1’s tactile control sur-

face features 17 touch sensi-

tive, 100mm, long throw

motorized faders…16 channel

faders plus one master. The

throw of these faders is the

same as those on large-format

recording consoles like those

from SSL and Neve. Other fea-

tures of the control surface

include: horizontal channel

strip, Jog and Shuttle wheel and transport control, and 10-key pad.

A color-matched computer keyboard and mouse come as standard

equipment with the SX-1. To offer even more functionality, the SX-

1 has 16 fader banks that determine which parameters are con-

trolled by the SX-1’s faders.

Both a large LCD display and a full-color VGA output are provided

for displaying mixing and editing data.

Not only is the SX-1’s mixer easy to route - it’s even easier to auto-

mate. It offers the most extensive automation system ever released

for a standalone DAW. All of the audio mixing parameters on the

console can be automated from the control surface. Innovative

automation capabilities, such as rendering library recall events into

the dynamic automation data, set the SX-1’s automation system

apart from less-advanced systems. One of the most important fea-

tures of the SX-1’s automation system is that it is largely transpar-

ent, so the operator can concentrate on the mix instead of "run-

ning" the automation system. Most functions are accessible by

pressing a single button, as opposed to other systems that require

paging through a labyrinth of menus, submenus and parameter

settings for even simple operations. While the SX-1’s VGA Graphic

User Interface allows very detailed editing of automation and other

data, it isn’t required to make a great mix or even to use the

automation.

- the SX-1 is clearly a remarkable value.

A Professional 128-track Sequencer

Another of the SX-1’s impressive features

is the onboard, 128-track professional

sequencer, which is tightly integrated with

the onboard multitrack recorder. The SX-1

has the ability to import/export Standard

MIDI Files. Nearly all the features that

users have come to expect from DAW-

based sequencers are included in the SX-

1’s MIDI engine. In addition to standard

features such as Cut/Copy/Paste, professional users will appreciate

advanced features such as Step Record, non-destructive Quantize

and Transpose, MIDI crescendo, MIDI reverse play, and Ripple edit-

ing modes.

The SX-1 is the only machine ever built that achieves this level of

MIDI integration. It is important to note that the SX-1’s sequencer

does not operate in isolation. The sequencer actually runs the

automation for the mixing console. Because the playback timing of

MIDI events is derived from the sample engine of the hard disk

recorder, the timing is supremely accurate and should impress even

the most hardened MIDI veterans.

Dedicated Multichannel Stem Recorder for Surround Mixing

The SX-1 features a 6-channel stem recorder for surround mastering

applications. Mastering tracks can be polished with outboard com-

pression, EQ, spatial effects and more, using the SX-1’s powerful

insert routing. The stem recorder records files in either Mac Sound

Designer II or PCBroadcast WAV formats. Bywriting in the two indus-

try-standard files formats to removable SCSI drives, the SX-1’s master

files can be taken to virtually any computer-based DAW for further

editing and sweetening without need for time-wasting file transfers.

The stem recorder is also used as the 2-track mixdown recorder. After

mixing down, you can take those masters and burn them to a Red

Book audio CD via the SX-1's built-in CD-RW drive.

A Professional Hard Disk Recorder

The SX-1’s hard disk recorder is derived from the same technology

in the TEC award-winning MX-2424 and Emmy award-winning MM

Series film dubbers. The SX-1 can play back 16 uncompressed tracks

of pristine 24-bit audio at one time, but it’s capable of far more.

With 999 virtual tracks per project that can be freely assigned to

any track, anywhere, the SX-1 makes comping together single

tracks from large numbers of vocal or instrumental takes an easy

task.

As stated previously, the SX-1

can read and write to both PC

and Mac discs, and writes

time-stamped Sound Designer

II and Broadcast Wave files.

Therefore, audio files can lit-

erally be taken from the SX-1

and imported with single sam-

ple accuracy into a variety of

DAWs and digital recorders.

"Single sample accuracy"

means that when files are transferred, they are put into the exact

place in a project you intend them to go…with precision to one

48,000th of a second. This is done by storing the sample rate and

the sample offset from absolute zero in the file itself. With only

these two parameters, the file can be placed at the exact sample in

another DAW’s project that has the ability to spot to a time stamp.

Some of the compatible DAWs include Pro Tools, Digital Performer,

Logic Audio and Nuendo. This feature provides tremendous bene-

fit to recording professionals needing file compatibility with other

musicians and studios.

The SX-1 can read and write projects in TimeLine’s Open TL format,

making it compatible at the session level with popular DAW pro-

grams such as Logic Audio and Nuendo as well as the TASCAM MX-

2424. You can literally move a hard drive from the SX-1 into your

DAW, and open projects in one of these applications.

Waveform Editing

Many industry pros would

argue that the waveform-

based display has been the

most significant new feature

introduced over the past

decade to improve the profes-

sional audio recording and

editing process. The SX-1’s

designers saw the possibilities

for a custom, full color graph-

ic interface that would take

advantage of the SX-1’s speed. As such, the SX-1 has a graphic inter-

face that is accessible by connecting a VGA monitor to a rear panel

jack. The speed of the waveform display is reminiscent of an oscil-

loscope’s, with a center-rectified playhead and real-time sample-

accurate playback. Standard editing conventions have been used in

order to give the SX-1 a familiar look and feel. Cut, Copy, and Paste

follow standard DAW commands, while other functions are easily

accessible via different combinations of controls – including the

PS/2 keyboard, the control surface, and the Jog/Shuttle wheel. If

you’ve ever used audio editing software, the SX-1 will feel right at

home.
