Alrighty, I sent the Xone:42 back to where it came from. After my ordeal with being basicly duped by Allen & Heaths false description of the mixers capibilities, I decided to just suck it up and get the Xone:92 which does indeed have MIDI capibilities. Why the Xone:42 doesnt is beyond stupid, especially for a mixer that cost $1300 to not support even at least the cross fader as MIDI controable input is just plain stupid if you ask me. What good is a USB mixer if it doesnt support MIDI? But I digress… Anyway, I talked to the people that I got the bunk-42 from and they hooked me up with the Xone:92 insted. You know whats funny, Allen & Heath had the audactiy to suggest that I buy a Xone:1D in addition to the 42 if I wanted MIDI. But you know what, its actuallyu cheaper to straight up buy the Xone:92 than it is to buy the 42 and the 1D individually. Stupid Allen & Heath dont even know the price of their own products. Let me just add that this will be the first and only Allen & Heath product that I ever buy, and if its not the fucking best thing since sliced bread, its going straigh back to the store it came from.

This is some bullshit. So I spent all the money I had to get a Xone:42 so I could control Traktor from a handware surface. Well aparently the Xone:42 doesnt do MIDI. Then why the FUCK DOES IT HAVE A USB AUDIO INTERFACE FOR IF ITS NOT GOING TO DO MIDI? Seriously? Thats so bullshit, Allen and Heath are liars and this mixer is having its capabilities falsely advertised.
DO NOT BUY THIS MIXER IF YOUR LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO CONTROL YOUR MIDI DEVICES WITH OR YOUR EFFECTS ON YOUR COMPUTER, IT WILL NOT WORK.
