Thank you for the video. Keep them coming please.
Any chance you could try the iPhone/IPad connectivity if you have one as part of your setup. This is the most intriguing part for me.

I was wondering if they accidentally shipped a bag for one of the other āfieldā units that they mentioned in the press release. That would explain the terrible fit - it is for something else!
I did not know that this was going to be a system! exciting!

@FranKC Thanks again for the tip. Purchased one of these today and Iāve just been playing with it. Seems to be exactly the piece of kit I have been looking for a while to use with my Guitar. The other things I have looked at have been less portable and more expensive.

Hey!
Could you plug in 12 Bastl Dude (or similar mixers) into each port (mono) on the Tx6?
Ta
So my colleagueās TX-6 arrived. I think I was almost more excited than him.
Got on a video call so I could watch him unboxing and switching on (I also wanted him to connect it to his iPad so we could check out the MFI compatibilityā¦
But no!
The unit boots into some kind of Function test mode and nothing seems to work to get out of it.
Since then heās tried everything but whenever it switches on it goes into āFunction Testā.
I think heās currently waiting for TE support to get back to him but that could take ages. I guess he may have to send his TX-6 back to them.
What a nightmare!

That sucks!
Really hope itās fixed but does not build confidence in TEs quality control

has he tried updating//reinstalling hte firmware on it?
Heās a lead software developer on the team so Iām pretty sure he will give it a go (if he has not done so already).
I would definitely be looking at a bluebox over this. Based on my experience with the blackbox, Iād expect the converters on it to be amazing. Given that Iām already married to the blackbox, and have a 100wh power bank with two ports, power isnāt a question.
But honestly, one thing seems like itās going to keep me from buying any more TE stuff: everything talks iOS these days. The 1010 stuff is just stuff. It uses midi and CV like normal gear and the entire FW is in the box. With TE lately you get half a product until you connect it to an iThing, and I canāt work like that.
Caught up with my colleague (coffees over video). He got in touch with TE support and they managed to get his TX6 up and running. It took a little more than a firmware update apparently but it is now working. The support team really went the extra mile and he is very grateful.
He gave me a little demo and also answered my main question regarding the MFI implementation - plugging it into a iOS device allows you to record up 12 tracks simultaneously. I dont think there are many iOS compatible devices that allow that - especially not portable ones.
Controls definitely seem a bit fiddly but not unusably so.
I told him to join the forum but heās not interestedā¦
One other thing - strange that all the publicity photos show the TX6 with the adapter in place which makes it look like it is actually part of the unit itself. I thought it was some kind of control knob when I first saw it.

Also these cables are slim enough to work apparently. So I suspect there is a decent range of slimline cables out there that will work fine.

interestingly the entire tx6 firmware is also in the box 
btw iām curious, what kind of synths do you have?
āthe timeline during a project like this is very dependant on the production schedule and some features just wasnāt ready in time for launch. but we have many ideas for future updates.ā
Maybe they will add recording capabilitiesā¦ we need a teardown to confirm how much flash memory it has.
