Does anybody use individual outs on synths?

[James Coplin]

Have you considered a Behringer x32 rack and either the 16x8 or 32x16 digital snake? That would give you all the io and a mixer plus effects.

The Presonus Quantum 4848 is great but Thunderbolt is a difficulty for lots of systems and the cost of the DB25 patchbays or cables adds a substantial amount to to cost.
