The USB interface can be used with any personal computer (PC) fitted with a standard
USB 2.0 port, and is effectively a digital multi-channel cable (up to 8 in and 8 out
channels) for connecting the PC to the console. USB lets you use any third party audio
processing software in conjunction with the console, and applications include
multi-track recording, software-generated effects processors and “plug-ins” inserted on
input dual stereo channel USB send/returns.
