Teenage Engineering TX-6 Synthesizer

Compact mixing, recording and sound design on the go

The TX-6 is the smallest 6-channel stereo mixer with USB-C audio interface ever made. The main area of application is primarily in the mobile segment, as the TX-6 is equipped with a USB rechargeable battery with up to eight hours of operating time. The TX-6 is also ideal for anyone who wants a VERY compact and well-equipped mixer, including an audio interface for their work. The handy device has a very high-quality finish, which you can hear not only from the high-quality AD/DA converters, but also from the aluminium housing and the leather-covered rear panel. The configurable control panel layout provides direct access to the six stereo inputs, which have a similarly extensive parameterisation as conventional analogue mixers. Each channel is equipped with a gain stage, LED VU meter, 3-band equaliser, compressor and two effect sends. With reverb, chorus, delay, freeze, tape, filter and distortion, the effects not only contain good "must-have" effects but also plenty of creative potential. The TX-6's audio interface sends six stereo tracks to any DAW via USB-C so that the recorded tracks can be recorded and post-processed there.

Thanks to MFi, connection to iOS devices is also possible. If the TX-6 is not currently being used as a mixer and interface, it can also be used wirelessly as a Bluetooth MIDI controller for numerous applications. Another talent of the TX-6 is its integrated synthesiser with four waveforms and four drum sounds. Thanks to tempo synchronisation, the associated sequencer always stays in time and your own patterns are recorded quickly and to the point. Even mobile DJs have been thought of: in crossfader mode, channel 1 turns into a crossfader to crossfade between inputs 5 and 6.
