Anyone using the Blue Cat Audio MB-7 Mixer?

As this is on sale for one more day, I'm looking for some users of the Blue Cat MB-7 Mixer. Anyone?
I haven't seen it this inexpensive..... $70.99 at Audio Deluxe and today is the last day.
It seems like it would be a very handy tool.

    I picked it up because i thought it would be handy tool and I'm glad I have it but like most of my tools I picked up this year it's getting more rust than use.  I did play with it when I first got it and was impressed with it at the time.
     
    The one thing that I don't know if it can do is modulation of the band sections like Melda's stuff can do where you can dynamically expand or contract the band sections but TBH I don't know if I'd ever use that feature if it was there.

    It's great for pro tools because it's a vst host as well.  The ability to isolate the frequencies upon which a plugin operates seems really useful if one is that specific in mixing.

    I've read several reviews and watched a number of videos on it, and agree it seems like it would be quite handy.
    Thanks for responding.

    @ The Steven    Since you can insert a plug into the band you want to modulate, I imagine you could easily do that, but I am "guessing" at this point.

    This Cakewalk blog seems appropriate here, but I am kind of surprised at how there's not much response. I gather the free Blue Cat stuff "we got" a while ago all works in the MB-7 but haven't found much corroboration.

    For any other purchasers or "consider-ers" LOL     There are 13 tutorial vids on the Blue Cat site for the MB-7. I haven't installed it yet, but am looking forward to it.
