A Professional 128-track Sequencer
Another of the SX-1’s impressive features
is the onboard, 128-track p ro f e s s i o n a l
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 re c o rd e r for surround mastering
applications. Mastering tracks can be polished with outboard com-
p ression, EQ, spatial effects and more, using the SX-1’s powerf u l
i n s e rt routing. The stem re c o rder re c o rds files in either Mac Sound
Designer II or PC Broadcast WAV formats. By writing in the two indus-
t ry - s t a n d a rd files formats to removable SCSI drives, the SX-1’s master
files can be taken to virtually any computer-based DAW for furt h e r
editing and sweetening without need for time-wasting file transfers.
The stem re c o rder is also used as the 2-track mixdown re c o rd e r. 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.
