This is completely out of the usual range of topics, but I'm hoping someone here has a suggestion.
As some of you know, I make (most of) my living from doing live gigs. Periodically, I replace gear for something better and - very importantly - lighter. My latest thoughts have turned to a new mixer. In a bid to remove the need for an outboard multi-FX unit, I'm considering a board with built-in effects. I've got a couple of those, and have heard many, but I've never used the effects in them. Not because the quality of the effects is awful but because the presets are.
Does anyone know of a mixer that allows for proper programming of effects on a computer, and the transfer of that program back to the mixer via USB? Needed FX are 'verb and delay/echo. It would be nice to be able to add some chorus to that, as well, but I won't turn my nose up at a board that only offers 2 simultaneous effects.
Thanks, Marc C.

I was only passingly familiar with the Presonus and, of course, I've heard of the X32. In fact, I've used it a couple of gigs (it was part of the kit provided at certain bigger gigs).
Neither is what I'd call inexpensive though... I'm hoping for something a little less pricey. And I'd rather something analog (except for the FX, obviously). Since I'm also the sound man at 95% of our gigs, I can't take the time to dive into menu and sub-menu pages, the way I'd need to with most digital boards. I'd need instant access to everything, hence the preference for an analog mixer.
Thanks, as always, Ross for the reply... you're definitely one of the most knowledgeable and trusted participants around these parts.
