... and I actually prefer having real faders and knobs under my fingers, regardless if they are on a digital surface or (gasp!) analog.

I've been hearing a few comments like this recently and I'm confused. Did something in particular happen recently that I didn't notice? [/COLOR] I guess I still think the X32 has impressive build quality, particularly for the price point. Or at least it feels like it's decently made. But what do I know?
For some reason this release is not available in all countries?!
Shouldn't be hard to compete with Behringer's quality, at whatever price point.
Behringer has made nearly 1/2 Billion $ on X32/XAIR products. Where's the competition?
Gross sales and profit are two separate things.
Is that U.S. Dollars? Or Philippine Pesos?Behringer has made nearly 1/2 Billion $ on X32/XAIR products. Where's the competition?
From what I've heard the price of a behringer product is, manufacturing cost + r&d + small profit (for growth) and that their profit margin (compared to competitors) is quite small.
The fixed aux configuration is kind of bummer (8 mono + 6 stereo). It would be nice it that was configurable up to 20 mono sends or say 10 stereo. Or any combo thereof. Why lock it down?
But.... the problem Yamaha have is product cannibalization. If the new entrants are both cheap enough and good enough then that will harm sales of the next models up. Uli doesn't have this problem; there is a branding gap gap between the Berry products and his "next one up", from Midas.That's all history now. So Behringer has demonstrated that value digital consoles can sell in large enough quantity to support lower prices. Just like Columbus demonstrating that you can sail east to find treasure, others followed Columbus and will follow Behringer.
Hell yeah!Interesting times.
I'd suggest the inflexibility of aux routing in the TFs is a decision based purely on market segmentation; its just software choices with no actual per-product cost, so they could have done it but have chosen not to. Which isn't, of course, to say they couldn't change this in a subsequent software upgrade.
Guys I’m facing a problem with my tf5Re: New Yamaha TF series digital mixers
