The audio output of the samplers is feeding an interface on my main
studio PC. The MDD is not being used as the audio workstation host, or
the main sequencer. It's mainly a DSP farm (again feeding my main
interface on a PC). MDD will also be used to control the samplers more
detailed functions (easier than the small hardware interfaces), off line
sample editing, import/export/conversion of other audio into/out of the
samplers, and some file storage.
I did consider an older G3 just for sampler SCSI interfacing, but my
home studio is getting too complicated/crowded already. A single legacy
Mac would be preferable to me. A PCI expansion chassis is a reasonable
solution for me. I'm already running 4 computers (including the MDD); my
main PC as DAW, a laptop to edit my Nord modulars + daily computing, a
legacy PC (rarely used for music, mostly just AXS
http://www.resolutionaudio.nl/), but is there more for legacy RS-232
EPROM programming, and for some older music gear that requires true DOS
environment for the occasional floppy based operation. One sampler also
has it's own LCD monitor, so five monitors all up. Plus rack hardware,
desktop controllers, and keyboard synths. Of course, this all comes with
an ample serving of cable soup.
Cheers,
Oli

I know nothing of this, but perhaps use another computer to control the
samplers, feeding the output of that into your MDD somehow?
Might be a lot easier to manage.
