The Korena take

The 5059 Satellite is a 2U, 16 x 2+2 summing mixer for hands-on analog routing around a DAW or a keyboard-based setup. Each channel has level, pan and insert facilities, while Stereo-2 sends and dual stereo outputs support separate stem mixes. Its Silk Red and Blue modes with variable Texture controls shape transformer saturation on each stereo send, or can be left uncolored. Always-on insert sends also allow a stacked mix to be recorded while individual sounds are captured separately.
