[Lab] A Question About Multiple Audio Devices

[Michael Ashley]

Artengine has an M-Audio interface that does 8 channels out. I don't remember how many input channels there are. The fact that it's a firewire connection to the computer may be a problem but Artengine has various Mac Minis with firewire ports. They also have a massive amp with a lovely collection of Tannoy speakers. I've used the gear to run eight speakers from Pure Data. Using Pd you can do sequential or simultaneous output.

Cheers
Michael
