- No. The Falcon has 8 internal channels that mix to two channels on the
- output (1/8" mini jacks), but it handles the 8 channels independently
- internally. If you wish to input more than the 2 channel input, you need to
- use an external AD(and probably DA for separate output) and connect it to the
- DSP connector (which can then interpret/redirect/process the information).
- Oh, and they decided to be backward compatible so you have 8bit sound available
- for those soundtracker modules (Lord knows I have enough to worry about that
- too :).
