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 instrument plugins for the keyboard and drum controllers.
