If you were around studying our MESSE video a few years back, you will no doubt have drooled over the original Tango dedicated control consoles. With oddles of custom control and fancy LED displays - the Arc being a hardware meterbridge with channel select, it looked just like the dashboard of a futuristic alien space vehicle - with a price to match.

A few years on, and the new breed ditches a lot of that funky custom control - along with the accompanying price (€20k I seem to remember), and adds a large touchscreen component. The resulting unit communicates with your DAW via ethernet and has its own built in GUI for making mixing tasks much more intuitive. There's also some very cool grouping and channel selection stuff to make navigating large mixes easier.

Its still gonna set you back a few quid (£4-5k actually) but think of the admiration you'd get from fellow workers, and it might just make your life a whole lot easier.
