Solid State Logic X-Patch 16-In and 16-Out Digital Patch Bay
Use hardware like plug-ins! With Solid State Logic’s X-Patch, you’ll enjoy the best of both hardware/software worlds — and save considerable time in the process. This innovative software-controlled unit offers a 16×16 routing matrix, so you can create and recall complex processing chains, without swapping out cables in a patch bay. For example, with X-Patch, you can instantly call up favorite mic pre, EQ, and dynamics processors to have your ideal vocal chain ready to go. By choosing another preset in the software, you can immediately switch up the order of the processing or call up an entirely different chain altogether — all alongside your current plug-in workflow. You won’t believe the time SSL’s X-Patch saves you. While Solid State Logic’s X-Patch is definitely ideal for the studio or live sound engineer, guitarists are going to love this piece of gear too. That’s because there’s MIDI connectivity onboard — and once configured, X-Patch can operate independently of the Studio Browser application. So now, all you guitarists need is X-Patch and a programmed MIDI foot controller and you can recall complex routing/switching setups to send your signal through boutique guitar or different amplifiers — all without spending a fortune! If you need super-complex signal chains, you can control up to six SSL X-Patch units from just one instance of the software!
