To add to this - I own a MoTu 828MK2 - purchased it used from craigslist for $300 a couple years ago.robbinhood wrote:I always think its a good idea to not plug directly into the FOH
sound guys suck. bad! I would suggest you get a line mixer or interface, you will get better sound and more control over your volume.

Honestly? It is worth its weight in gold in my setup. I use it to provide myself with an in-ear mix...as a mixer for FOH...as an interface for recording, etc.
10 input channels (8 1/4", 2 XLR), 4 output busses...pretty much all you'll need for a decent keyboard setup. AND it doubles as a studio mixer/interface.
Can't praise those things enough!
