The new Solid State Logic X-Patch is designed to deliver the flexibility of plug-in style routing to boutique analog processing, providing a 16 x 16 “SuperAnalogue” routing matrix that can be Ethernet controlled remotely from a standard computer.
SSL’s Logictivity Remote Studio browser application provides set-up, configuration and preset storage, allowing for easy incorporation into any studio environment.
X-Patch can function as a simple “X-Y Router” or as a “Matrix” to create complex processing chains. This allows for analog processing to be built into favorite processing chains and then easily placed into signal paths, for example, favorite mic pre, EQ and dynamics processors recalled at a single stroke.
In a studio environment, X-Patch speeds up workflow and aids creativity by reducing the constant physical re-patching required when using only a patch bay for routing.
Up to six X-Patch units can be controlled in parallel from a single instance of the X-Patch Logictivity browser software.
X-Patch is also a stage or studio live performance tool for guitarists. Once configured, X-Patch can operate independently of the Studio Browser application and host computer and has MIDI connections.
Connection of a standard MIDI foot controller to X-Patch creates a versatile stand alone analog routing/switching system for on-stage boutique instrument processing, or amplifier selection at a fraction of the cost of comparable professional on stage effects selection systems.
