MFX3+ GOING ON EBAY

MFX3+ GOING ON EBAY

2008-12-17 by darrencostin

Hi guys.
Been a while.
Wang Chung are clearing out some historic bits and pieces.
I'm just about to put our MFX3+ 24track mainframe (cmi frame) on ebay.
Not done any pics yet, but I'm sure there are some on file here.

Booted her up this morning only to discover that she doesn't boot 
beyond page one. Haven't used her for a while, been using our mfx3+ 
rack. I'm sure it's nothing massive. Power supply seems ok. Peter at 
Horizontal was the last person to upgrade the discs and service her and 
that was before he went to aus. LOL! Quite a ways back.
If anyones interested, drop me a line.

Best.

It's basically a great 24 track. I recently purchased one as an
alternative to using Logic for recording.
24 bit recording. 24 tracks. No synthesis features, but a nice
sounding multitrack with a superb remote controller. Has LOADS of sync
features and everything is easy and quick on it. Crossfades for
example are done on the fly and once you have used it, you appreciate
it a lot.
So, if you need a 24 track (the number of I/O varies. Usually 24
digital AES i/o and at least 8 analog i/o but often 24 analog i/o too).

Hi David,
what do you think about the audio quality of the MFX3? Compared to Logic and Protools and other 24 bit systems?
Ciao
Fabio
