This illustrates the potential of the Onyx 400F to do entire band recordings
with a minimum of physical gear or large recording spaces. Everything
except the singers are “virtual!” A USB MIDI interface is used to connect
an external MIDI keyboard controller and MIDI drum controller to the
computer running the DAW software, and a Mackie Control Universal
connected to the MIDI I/O on the Onyx 400F to control the DAW. The
DAW is running an amp emulation plugin for the guitars and virtual in-
strument plugins for the keyboard and drum controllers.
