6 SHARC processing chips take the load off your CPU for effects, sampling, synthesis, and so on, adding muscle for glitch-free recording with low latency. It's a recording I/O card, a digital mixer, an effects rack, a synth collection, a studio sampler, and a routing patch bay used in any combination.

It all works perfectly along with your favorite audio sequencer and behaves just like external hardware equipment. You can even integrate external audio signals live. 20 I/Os comprise: 2 balanced analog, 16 ADAT digital, 2 S/PDIF that can be used in place of one of the ADATs, and 2 AES/EBU balanced XLR.
