Hi,
I just found the way to use 4 USB Korg NanoKontrol2 as individual headphones mixers .

I created 4 stereo master tracks "PHONES 1-4" and sent them to analog stereo outputs (digital outputs are for my monitors)
I selected in each one of them all I wanted to have on my controllers (4x8 tracks)
Then I moved those tracks to the left on the main mixer window .
In PREFERENCES, I've selected my 4 NanoKontrol2 .

IT WORKS PERFECTLY but it takes 70% of the DSP .
It's all right for a small live acoustic project (jazz trio, quartet, etc...)
Now I finally have that virtual headphones monitoring system for only 300€ and it gives me more satisfaction and more possibilities
than a professional 1500€ system !!!
Guess what ? The money I saved will be for a second 2882 expanded .

Maybe the SENDS appearing on the main mixer instead of pop-up would be great to deal with less DSP memory ? Wink

Anyway...
Thank you Metric Halo .
The fact is that all you tell about your products is true .
Not only merchandising and marketing .

So rare nowadays .

Busses take a large amount of DSP, whether they are sends or master busses.

Glad you've found a solution that works for you!

Yes but SENDS would avoid me to open MIO ChannelStrips on each master bus dedicated to my individual mixers .

It would give me at least 30% extra DSP .
That would give me the opportunity to add MIO limiters to my analog inputs .

That would give you the opportunity to sell me a +DSP licence Wink
