ADDITIONAL I/O DEVICES: EXPAND AS YOU NEED 
Add more I/O devices  Connect additional I/O devices to the 
switch. Any combination of SoundGrid I/Os can be added to 
the network, up to a maximum of 16, including the local driver.

chain” devices. 
Add a MIDI controller to SoundGrid Studio to control the 
eMotion ST mixer with a remote device. 
This configuration lets you swap and share I/O resources and 
offload processing to the server.
