In other words, when in FireWire mode (switch on the back) you have available 18 FireWire inputs & outputs which are hardware routed by the streaming controller, plus 8 ADAT ins & outs which can be routed to & from using the software application on the computer. Slightly differently, when in ADAT mode (switch on the back) the ADAT ins & outs are hardware routed to the channels 1 to 16. The FireWire channels are then disabled. |
ok....so it really is capable of recording 26 discrete streams into the computer in FW mode......albeit at 48khz max. Is the digital interface card made to be upgradable/updatable?
You know, more options, higher sample rates, e.g. 8+2 ins from mixer plus 16 ADAT ins, all at 96khz? Or 24 ins and 8 outs only for FW mode at 96khz?
Great product I must say....though the price point is a bit steep for me
But I'm sure it is very attractive to other users in the project studio market for something along the lines of Onyx, N12, StudioLive etc, vastly different feature sets but all similar DAW-mixer-tactile ctrl hybrid concepts. I guess the next step up in the price point will be TOFT ATB, but it is much less streamlined to the DAW workflow.
Thanks AlienHealth! (cool nick btw)
