Hello, could you guys build a mixer with midi,also clip launch button for ableton live.
Sort of a portable maven, ya know the one sasha has. No, this isn't a joke.
Behringer got it, but its behringer.
Even if this mixer is exclusively midi that's sweet. Thanks.

How much automation do you need? Motorized faders? Total recall?

My Yamaha ProMix01 is very MIDI integrated and has motorized faders. Only thing it can't recall are pre-amp settings. You should be able to score something at a good price.

Realize something new is going to start at around $1200 street pricing.

The Korg nanoKONTROL is a mixer/surface/controller. Super cheap, around $60. Works good, highly portable. Should be able to be reconfigured to do your clip launching IF this is a task Ableton Live can do via MIDI triggering.
