I'm talking about my keyboard, which has stereo line outs. I would hook them to my UCA202's stereo RCA jack inputs, and use a Y-cable to combine the 2 stereo outputs into the single 1/4" plug connection needed to hook into the sound system. Maybe with a real time kernel and the proper settings, the UCA202 won't have weird skipping problems when used bidirectionally. I could hook the keyboard in via MIDI and use that to drive a softsynth, too. Sounds like fun if I can get it to the point of setting it up and adjusting settings quickly enough. Just think - the EEEPC 901's are dirt cheap at Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/8-9-Inch-Netbook-Processor-Storage-Battery/dp/B001BYB620/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1240999950&sr=1-2 Chuckk Hubbard wrote: > I've used Pure Data and Csound both that way, with good results, with > a Zoom H4 for input: > http://zoomh4.net/ > > Unfortunately, you can't use the microphone and the instrument inputs > at the same time; you'd have to either have two of them or plug in a > separate mic and an instrument. > > -Chuckk > > On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 11:58 AM, david wrote: >> The guitarist in my church band has been using a hefty effects box for >> years (of course).
