Hi Coyote;

The new Shuttle module makes connecting keyboards to the Workhorse rack easy. You can also connect directly into the Workhorse summing mixer with a keyboard as it will accept a -10dB input.

As for comparing the current of the Workhorse with others, i can tell you that we provide 1200 milliamps that is shared across 8 slots. This means that you can use 150mA per slot or 200 in the first 4 (800mA) and still have 100mA for the last 4. Most devices need between 30mA and 100mA to run. The original API spec is 130mA per slot while ours delivers 150ma or more.

Have fun!
