I utilize the internal sound card on the X32 Rack internally routed to Channels 1 & 2 for a backing track that is the foundation of our duo. This is using Showbuddy from a MacBook. This also triggers MIDI messages for all of my gear as well as a MIDI lightshow.
Due to the X32 having no MIDI thru functionality I have to use a 3rd party USB MIDI device which works just fine but….
I also have available a Saffire 40 and a Babyface that provide audio as well as MIDI functionality and I wondered how the internal X32 sound card stacks up ‘technically’ to these devices sound quality wise. Perhaps I could gain a bit of sound quality by using the Saffire or Babyface and just run out of it into Channels 1 & 2 via the hardware inputs and use it’s MIDI thru functionality.
