USB Controllers
Beginning with firmware v3.00 and higher, the MixPre Series (including M
models) can be connected to selected third party controllers for tactile control
of mixing and recording.
No matter whether you are creating music, podcasts or recording sound for
picture, these control surfaces provide yet another cool way to interact with
your MixPre in addition to operating MixPre direct from its front panel or from
the Bluetooth Wingman App for iOS and Android.
The MixPre-Series can be controlled by the following USB controllers:
• Korg NanoKontrol Studio
• Korg NanoKontrol 2
• Novation LaunchControl XL
• Akai MidiMix
These control surfaces provide a varied range of physical sliders, pots, and
buttons to set fader levels, trim gains, pans, reverb sends, solos, mutes,
record arming, transport control and more. Functionality varies depending on
controller model and whether you are working in Music or Audio projects.

Not all functions are supported by all controllers.
Connecting the MixPre to a Controller
Power and control is provided via a single USB cable to better facilitate simple
connection between the MixPre and controller. To ensure compatibility with the
connected controller, the MixPre must first configure itself accordingly.
L
For the MixPre-3 and -6, USB Controllers will only function if the MixPre is
adequately powered.
To connect a controller:
1. Connect one end of a USB cable to the MixPre’s USB-A port and the other
end to the controller’s USB port which can be a USB-B, Micro USB, or Mini
USB port depending on the controller model.
We recommend using the USB cable supplied with the controller.
L
It is okay to connect the MixPre to the controller while powered up.
2. The MixPre automatically starts setting itself up to work with the attached
controller. During this short time, a popup displays the controller model.
After a few seconds, the popup closes and the controller is ready to use.

When connected to the MixPre, some functions are taken over by the controller
