? bump

really slow response

from what is on a Motu site i guess is not possible to get from USB or fire wire Motu interface 24 separate outputs

is that correct ?

probably MOTU 828mkII = 8 analog + 2 main stereo + adat 8?
so 10 analog + 8 digital = 18 -- so i need adat to analog converter

apparently Motu is not providing single adat to 8 analog outuput interface what i can connect to MOTU 828mkII - maybe i am wrong ?

please help

thanx

regards

There is also S/PDIF in that gives you two more channels. I added the 8Pre to my rig and I've got 18 solid analog ins from the 828 and the 8Pre. I don't think you can get 24 seperate outs even with the two units.

copy paste from
http://www.motu.com/products/motuaudio/ ... tures.html

Expandable - add additional UltraLite, 828, 828mkII, 896, 896HD or Traveler FireWire interfaces for additional I/O.



is posible to connect more UltraLight together to laptop and have all inputs and outputs visible in Cubase ( Asio )?

thanx

regards
