Re: Why Doesn't The Yamaha's Have A Digital Audio Connection?

2005-03-06 by zapaxe

Hey thanks SEA,

Well, I was expecting that much. I'm not too surprise since I only 
heard from someone else that lightpipe is 'capable' of 8 channels.

If in fact, 8 channels are capable with lightpipe I wonder how hard 
it would have been for Yamaha to design this digital output in such 
a way that would allow 8 channels so that different drums can be 
assigned to separate recording tracks?

Of course the use of midi recording and the multi-audio putputs 
provided in the DTXtreme would achieve the same thing so...? But one 
cable with 8 channels?
