I tried running a piano from my Korg Triton through it once and it was cool (but then I started using sampled pianos and they sounded great on their own). I don't do any electronic stuff and tend to record everything through mics (and for that the Affinity is just killer!). Granted my DI experience is limited but based on the bass I'd say go for it. I don't know how much it costs but considering it's 4 channels and the sound/bulit quality, whatever HCL is asking for it will make it the most cost-effective high-end solution. E-mail Albert, he will tell you all about the options and the prices.
Cheers for the info. thumbsup

I bet that Affinity is nice.
