Using the Scarlett 18i8 as a stand-alone mixer

The Scarlett 18i8 has the ability to store a mix configuration defined in Focusrite Control within the

hardware. This feature lets you configure it – for example, as an on-stage keyboard mixer – using your

computer, and then upload the configuration to the device itself. Then you can use the Scarlett 18i8

as a simple local mixer as part of your keyboard rig to control the overall mix of multiple keyboards.

In the example illustrated, three stereo keyboards are connected to the inputs of the Scarlett

18i8; the Monitor Outputs go to the main PA system. The performer can adjust the gain for two

of the keyboards against the third from the front panel; he/she can also adjust the overall level

of the keyboard mix.
