Mackie Ultrapilot automation - $250 (asheville)

This is a multi channel VCA system for MIDI control of fader levels and muting.
It connects to virtually any mixer via the unit's channel (or main) inserts.
A duplicate insert patch bay is thoughtfully provided on the front of the Ultra-34.
Up to four Ultra-34s can be daisy-chained and simultaneously controlled via the Ultramix Pro software for continuous, real-time automation of up to 136 line-level signals.
Ultrapilot was designed as a large-format hardware controller to be used specifically with 24 to 128-channel consoles.
It has 32 input faders and mutes, a master fader with master mute, and controls for MIDI machine controlled devices and popular digital multitrack transports.
