Now that also sound interesting. As you might have guessed, I intend to use the interface with Pd and I also like to do recordings of interviews. Now I already have an Oxygen 8, so I wouldn't be midi-less if the audio card hasn't got Midi. I looked a bit around at various online vendors and it seems, the Edirol boxes are quite nice and a bit less expensive than the M-Audio cards. The UA-20 is 239 EUR at my dealer, so it might fall into my intended price range. More outputs might be nice with Pd but I fear, that the bandwith might not be sufficient?! ciao -- Frank Barknecht
