Using the Scarlett 18i20 as a stand-alone mixer

The Scarlett 18i20 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 18i20 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 rear panel inputs of the

Scarlett 18i20; Outputs 3 and 4 go to the main PA system. The performer can adjust the volume of

the individual keyboards from the front panel; he/she can also adjust the overall level of the keyboard

mix.
