The device is well-built, and the internal effects are noticeable. The controls feel solid. However: I purchased this notepad as a connection for recording on my laptop (Windows 10). Unfortunately, the driver, which must be downloaded from the manufacturer's website, simply doesn't work. Windows 10 doesn't accept the driver's signature. I had to disable the signature check on my notebook, and I was able to load the driver and the notepad panel once. However, the relevant programs become inactive again after each restart of the PC and are no longer recognized by the DAW. It's a shame that Soundcraft sells such an immature product to consumers; the advertised arguments for this device simply don't hold true. I will be asking MUSIX to return the device, as it is unfortunately completely unusable for me.
