Default Re: Aggregate I/O. When you add a second interface, do you get a second MIDI I/F as w

Thank you so much!

Right now I need 8 more audio inputs and at least 1 more MIDI port. (I have 3 synth units without MIDI Thru. MOTU 828 has 1 MIDI port. Also I use a simple 1-in 1-out MIDI to USB I/F for monotimbral sounds).

So my idea was to aggregate a second FireWire Audio/Midi interface to get 8 more audio inputs and 1 MIDI.

The second (and more expensive) option was to add MOTU 8pre via optical connection (no MIDI in this case I suppose), plus buy MOTU micro lite USB MIDI ($130).

Or try to aggregate MOTU 8pre via FireWire-Thunerbolt adapter ($40) in the hope that Pro Tools will recognize Motu 8pre’s MIDI port.

So I think I'll stick to the MOTU option, less pita I hope.
