[QUOTE="John T. Cotton, post: 216169, member: 356"] No, I don't believe there's anyway for you to insert any of the internal effects. The inputs are permanently routed from the FX sends, the outputs can be routed to any input I think, but are usually routed to the last four stereo inputs. You can download the offline editor to experiment and confirm this. The SI Performer, Expression, Impact, Mini Stagebox 32R/16R (NOT 32i/16i), Compact stagebox, and possibly some of the VI surfaces, all use the same input card/preamp. How that sound compares to a real classic '80s or '90s analog Soundcraft is hard to say. But, they sound nice and more traditionally British to me than other modern consoles. The SI line is long in the tooth, and is not the most refined design. But they sound pretty good and can be cost effective in the right situation. The SI Impact may be a better choice in cost vs performance than a Performer at this point. The build quality may not be quite as good but the software and audio components are basically the same.
