This is the one achilles heal of this channel. Despite all the great content, ultimately its a channel for a retailer who are ultimately trying to sell you a product so reviews will always have a positive bias. I've no doubt the new TE products are nice but they're ridiculously overpriced and this is very clear to all. Theres no way on earth Jack was ever going to give an honest opinion on this thing and its value when its presented from a retailer who are trying to sell it.

Exactly the case and well-said. I can never enjoy this channel as much as others, they are willing to ruin whatever legitimacy they may have for the hard sell. Jack is fun and he smiles and laughs through every product but I would never use him nor their videos for genuine purchasing reasons since this is and always will be a channel for products, not personal opinions on said product.
Love their gear and I do own an og OP-1 however it is kind of wild to think you would need to spend roughly 8k to have all of the latest in their OP ecosystem.

I just love what TE has done here, both of these devices are absolutely great, sadly I can not afford any of them at the moment but I'm also sure that I am going to buy them both at some point, as an op-1/op-z owner I think Ill start with TX-6
Let me see … for £200 less, I can get the 16-channel Presonus StudioLive desk with 12x XLR in and a USB interface. For a quarter of the price, I can get the teenie-weenie 16-channel MIDI- and CV controller AtoVproject - 16n to control all of my synths. If the future of mixers is microscopic brain implants for £20k a shot, I'm afraid Jack has to get hooked up alone.

a fantastic, beautifully crafted device. But do you know what is equally remarkable? An 8-track Digital recorder, twin mics, built in effects, aluminium body, and more...that can also fit inside a shirt pocket..that was released nearly ten years ago and cost just £160. If it had a TE logo on it folk would be over it like a rash, instant buy etc But it doesn't so they don't. The wee BOSS BR-80 is a brilliant companion. Practical, great sounding, portable, and above all USEABLE without the aid of tweezers.

But only one input? I need a mini Roland MX/TX-6 hybrid but something that doesn't cost and arm and a leg!
This reminds me of 1979 when a casio red LCD watch was $500 in a catalog. $500 in 1979 money. If it's the future, I'll wait until further in the future when it's right-priced. It's been said to death, but I really wouldn't pay more than $250 for such a thing. Premium-Shmemium. Value is in the wallet of the beholder.
Even if I overlook the laughable pricetag, I just dont get it. Like, I cannot think of one possible use case where this product, in this form factor, is actually useful. Even if it is for their own current and forthcoming products. Why the hell did they make it so small? It's like a complete misunderstanding of literally everything that makes a live oriented mixer cool. The only things I want to be thinking about on a desk if I'm doing Dub/Live Electronic are the Faders, the EQ pots & the Sends. "It's a proper performace mixer". LOL, no it really really isn't. They could have made it as wide as the OP, twice the depth, and included hands on control for everything I just mentioned. And then the price MIGHT have been acceptable. But at over £1k with the connectivity and UX it provides, it is simply a stupid bit of kit imho.

@@JariAalto damn, the local salsa night at the social club must be paying a lot better than I thought, for the DJs to be spending £1000 on a mixer when they could just plug a 2017 smart phone with a jack output on it 😂 but fair enough, this is a scenario I hadn't imagined.
Great video. What MIDI controllers would work with this, as it’s got no MIDI ports?
can it do stems separation?
Great video, ridiculous product. Toy grade boutique priced, should be their sales slogan going forward, sad.
Awkward! Reminds me of a minister doing his best to defend Boris
But why so expensive?!!!! its more than an OG OP-1!!! Is there another small mixer available as an alternative?
Price - Ouch. Reminds me of all the jewellers down Old Bond Street, London. You know, the shops that don't actually show a price in the shop window.
You can have a nice small live setup with their other products combined.
Howdy I am thinking of playing live with only op1 field..but I am considering buying the tx-6. Will the new TE CM-15 be able to pug directly into the tx-6? Or do I need a dynamic mic? I plan on talking and or screaming…distortion, delay, reverb. Hope its not a dumb question.
Can this connect via adat somehow via an adapter?
Just dove into the field system and I've only had it a week and still wrapping my head around it...I just caught the part where the TX-6 can be midi controlled....can it be Bluetooth from the op-z (and when's the obvious op-z field and P.O. field)??
Could it work for a live acoustic band? I use 8 wireless mics. Currently use the qsc touchmix 8 and don't mind paying the price if it works for what I need. Thanks!

I’ve had the TX-6 but I returned it. Just couldn’t justify the price. Granted, it’s one of the best pieces of hardware I’ve used. Everything about it screams excellence in product design. But I just can’t shake the feeling that TE at one point decided it was gonna make product for rich people only and fuck it. Which is ok, fashion companies do it all the time. But it’s still shitty.

Too expensive,too small and going from other reviews unless your buying te cables normal cables don’t fit this properly..
21:57 after hearing the price of this little thing! TE over price their products. In fact, they once discontinued the OP1 then saw the prices go up for used ones on the second hand market and they were apparently “annoyed” people were doing that. What was their reaction? Re-issue the OP1 albeit at a higher price from its original £799! 😂 I don’t think I’ve seen anyone actually buy this tx-6. The people that have one either got it free because of their subscriptions or they didn’t pay the full price for one.
If it cost $2000, I would buy it.
The TE guy says it's genuine leather at 15:30 while on the TE website it says pu leather. Now which one is it? Putting cheap plastic leather that easily wears and cracks on a device in this price range is ludicrous.

I really wish you didn't feature this overpriced, impossibly idiotic designed piece of gear. Noticed you never demo'd getting all the jacks working... there's a meme for this, and it isn't pretty. Standard shielded cables can't even fit in the back of this thing if you want to utilize all of the i/o. The scale so miniscule, seemingly perfect for kids hands and nobody else. Even the demo guy seemed careful not to freestyle anything but the sliders and easily accessible buttons that aren't a cm away from each other. Why would they do this? It's cramped like even a tiny bit more surface area would've broken the concept. Just a clownshow piece of kit all around. The worst thing i've seen from a company that used to be known for pretty forward thinking gear.. Sophomore slump I hope, but if this is the way the company is going philosophically (that form factor and compact-ness matter more than usability), no amount of positive features will save them.
It's so cringy with the awkward touching. Of course the guest is on camera so they have to go along with it, but come on.
