The TX-6, and it’s a tiny (in size, not price) field mixer, is absolutely festooned with knobs. In addition to letting you mix together sound from six stereo inputs and output them to a computer, speaker, or both, in true Teenage Engineering fashion, the TX-6 can also act as a basic synthesizer, drum sequencer, and USB-C audio interface.

By default, the knobs act as controls for a three-band equaliser, letting you tweak the highs, mids, and lows for each input. But a peek at Teenage Engineering’s guide reveals the tons of other things you can do with them, from controlling compressor settings to adjusting pan or note length. Whatever you use them for, you’ll be doing it in style; the knobs are colourful and knurled at the top, which should help you grip something that’s otherwise approximately the size of a large Q-Tip. There are also LED volume meters, with controllable brightness.

It's big claim to fame probably though is that it packs all of this into a footprint about the size of a  large iPhone. I'm just thinking at this price it is probably ripe to have a cheap look-alike manufactured at some point.
