Hmmph well.

I'm going with the MOTU 24i, MOTU 828 MKII, and multiport card. This will give me 24 INS. Mix it all down with digital performer.

Thanks for the input ya'll

I don't like it.

What about this one? Anyone have any experience with the merits or lack thereof of Lexicon interface ?


LEXICON FW810S Firewire Audio Interface

Finally an answer to the great mystery. I am actually a pretty smart dude believe it or not. Its the simple stuff that confuses me.

so this is the 1/4 jack input of the back of the FF 800. Something like this:

O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O

How then should I connect my L/R Stereo/Mono?

I must sound stupid but this is really confusing me.



Is it 1 ---> 1
2--->2
8 ---->8 and so on?

+1 :P Its pricey but its nice. One more question: The synth input jacks in the back of the FF800 only have one hole? All of my synths have L/R stereo/mono jacks and currently they are hooked into a Mackie U420 with two cords each, one for L and one for R. Will the FF 800 make it necessary to buy all...

Thanks Stab!

Yea, I got to wandering about x.sum and started scratching my head. I am a total noob but I have and am getting some fantastic instruments to set up this rig. I plan to MIDI mod my JU60 too! Not sure whether I want to use the ESQ-1 as the controller or wait to get my hands on a Prophet 12. I agree, ...

Thanks for the advice Kungfugeek. I am picking up what you are laying down. The sum board seems like a good solution combined with my opcode 64X midi patchbay and do you know anything about the SteinbergMR816X? I was told this was a good interface and since I am running vintage MIDI 5 pin synths, cu...

What about Steinberg MR816X with opcode 64X?

Would this be a suitable setup for say maybe 5 to 8 synths?

Hello! FNG here. I am wanting to get all my vintage synths firing over a Digital Audio Interface so I can compose with Cubase as well as play them and record this into my DAW (leaning towards Cubase) running on a MAC OS. So far here is my lineup: TR707 JUP6 Juno106 (X2) Juno60 (going to get it moded...
