It provides Focusrite VST/AU Plug-in Suite for use in the mix and Xcite+ software bundle featuring a host of royalty-free loops and samples, a full-fledged soft-synth and Ableton Live Lite 9. Interface further features a Tactile Monitor dial for immediate control over the main stereo outputs, a switchable phantom power for both mic pre inputs, software PFL that allows the mix engineer to easily monitor a single mixer channel or complete mix, and dedicated front-panel headphone bus providing a fully customised monitor mix, with tactile level control available on the front panel. Interface is fully compatible with Thunderbolt using simple FireWire to Thunderbolt adapter, and can be bus-powered via FireWire for a tidy mobile recording rig (or via its own power supply).
