Usine as an efficient router

[unguitar]

Hi,
my main interest in Usine has the target to test it as an efficient router/mixer/splitter for stage use.
I need to have a complete control over my setup, which is composed by hardware processors and an audio software (Mobius).
After having tested it ( 1.016) I still have a few obscure points, I hope someone can offer some light over them:
-There is no way to assign hardware inputs/outputs to the Aux channels
-There is no way to control aux levels via midi
-the track output channels receive the same audio level
-even if I save my workspace with 7 tracks, when I reload it, it just shows 5 tracks.

I don't know if these are real limitations of current release or if I just didn't learn it well.
I would thank you if you could tell me if there is something I didn't see or if Usine doesn't provide these controls and, if so, if there is any intention to develop them or not.

Thanks,
luca

The Aux sends in Usine are a bit different, I too were wondering whether I had missed something... There are no Aux channels per se in Usine, you'll have to set up separate, "normal" channels with Aux 1 or 2 as input, and then send these to their own outputs if you want to use them for external hardware.

MIDI control of the Aux send levels is done via the Global Remote setup.

Usine deletes empty tracks at the end when saving, but you could for instance put in some simple pattern into track 7 until you found out what's really going in there.

Hope this is of any help.

You are right bsork.

You can also use:

"additional input" modules to receive the signal directly from any input you want.
"additional output" modules to send the signal directly to any output you want.

Create a patch with for example, 4 "additional in" and 4 "additional out". Add some "volume" modules and connect them to create the routing you want.

You mean you can use additional ins/outs instead of aux then ?

One more question ( and thanks for all the patience):
what do I gain inserting the "additional" ins/outs in a track instead of in a channel ?
Or
Is there any "must do" in here ?
thanks,

You only gain more flexibility if you feel limited by the built-in mixer.
You're not obliged!
