Ok - here we go!
In this video I start to show you round the huge array of buttons, knobs and encoders. The Starship Enterprise has nothing on this thing!!š¤
At around 2:09 I talk about why you would buy the XL when, like me, you already have the LIVE III. Although I talk about all the great things that the LIVE III has which the XL doesn't, I don't really make a case for the XL. However, I think by the time I've gone through all the controls that the XL has to offer, you'll be very impressed. Having all those extra buttons/knobs means you can really fly around your project without a load of menu-diving. On top of that, you have the larger screen, the extra inputs, two headphone sockets etc. etc. The question you have to ask yourself must be "Is it worth another Ā£1,100 over and above the XL?"
