Pretty reasonable price too. SMPro Q-ADAT.

If it works for you have fun. I will say that I haven't been to impressed with what I have seen in as far as reviews of other SMPro equipment if it is the manufacturer I am thinking of, but I have not used any hands on to be certain.

Was it an option for the Triton? I've seen little boards for the rack version
at $400. Alesis Quadrasynths had it, of course.
