Gadget has 8 line ins, 8 outs, 4 sends, 2 mic/guitar ins with available phantom power, midi in/out, etc.
Basically, this should handle my audio stuff including guitar and vocal mic, plus basic midi. I suspect I'll need another midi interface for more channels soon - but for writing I expect to record the midi, clean up my sloppy playing, and then record the synth to audio, then mute the midi track....
