Mackie CR-1604 mixer with OTTO-1604 MIDI automation

[ofajen]

I'm asking $250 plus shipping (OBO) for this very unusual and very nifty, midi-controlled, automated mixer. Send me a PM if you're interested, want to see pix or make an offer. Actually, there's not a lot to see, since the VCA board installs inside the CR-1604.

The unit is located in central Missouri. Original Mackie CR-1604 with rotopod and rack rails and complete hardware for OTTO-1604. OTTO-1604 is a MIDI-controlled VCA array on a board that installs inside the CR-1604 (only the original, not the later VLZs). A serial cable connects the VCA board to a MIDI interface box. You can use MIDI controller messages to control the level of any input channel, the auxes and the master output. You can also program "scenes" and fade from one to the other (at a programmed rate) by sending midi program change messages. You can mute and unmute with note on/off.

Entire unit is in excellent shape. I have manuals for both the mixer and the automation unit, which is currently installed in the mixer and ready to go.

Thanks!

Otto
