Roland has announced OSX Support for the M-1000 10-channel Digital Line Mixer. This 1U rackmount mixer is designed to give musicians a convenient way to mix up to four stereo S/PDIF signals, plus two analog inputs, with 24-bit/96kHz sound and automatic sample rate conversion. With new OSX drivers available for download shortly, the M-1000 is now compatible with Apple's next generation operating system and the latest crop of Power Mac G4 computers. Now OSX users can fully exploit the USB audio functions of the M-1000, enabling them to mix audio from their computer along with other inputs.

The M-1000 is a solution for mixing synthesizers, sound modules and recording gear with digital outputs. Up to four stereo S/PDIF inputs can be mixed - along with a stereo analog input - using simple rotary controls. The resulting signal can then be output digitally or via the analog Master and Monitor outputs. The M-1000 even takes care of sample rate conversion automatically.

The M-1000 also features a built-in USB port. Using a single USB cable, digital signals can be routed from a computer to the M-1000, where they can be mixed with other input channels. The results can then be sent back to the computer for recording. The M-1000 also integrates perfectly into professional studios thanks to its Word Clock I/O, with clock sources selectable between Internal, Word Clock, Digital In and USB (At 96kHz, it is not possible to send audio in and out simultaneously via USB). Multiple M-1000's can even be cascaded to create a monster digital mixing system.
