Time to get out of the box

[Mikael Hansson]

Look at one of the 8 channel USB or TB midrange interfaces available from Focusrite, Presonus, Roland etc. with ADAT in/out expansion (just check at thomann which ones are available) then add a Behringer ADA8200 ADAT-expansion to get 8 more channels. I have an older Focusrite FW interface and have been very happy with it.

The PO-12 was fun, some of the iOS synths I have are great to doodle with, but just send audio out. I've dug out my TR909, replaced my long lost (don't ask) TB-303 with a TT-303 and G.A.S. is pointing me towards a Mother 32, a 0-coast or even a possibly a Lyra-8 and...

My griffin iMic has served me well for audio in duties for decades, but I need more than a single stereo in. Being 'in the box' means I've pretty much skipped 2 decades of audio interface development, and have no idea of what exists, what it costs, or which brands are good.

I don't need mic/guitar inputs, pre-amps or any outputs, but if I could get a pair (or more) of cv/gate outputs in the same box that would be great. I don't need any controls on the box, as I plan to mix everything in Reason or Logic.
