The Korena take

EP-136 K.O. sidekick puts a compact stereo mixer, USB audio interface and effects processor into one portable unit. Two stereo channels plus stereo aux let you combine three sources, while each channel has gain, EQ and compression controls. Four stereo USB recording channels capture ch1, ch2, aux and main, and a dedicated stereo playback channel brings computer or phone audio back into the mixer. Dual FX blocks, beat matching, the tap-FX sequencer and hands-on FX controls make it suited to active routing and performance changes.
