Multi Instance & Motu M4

General discussion about Gig Performer
1

I have yet to seriously play with multi-instances but I am thinking I might need to solve for some high-processor situations and was looking to move my entire global racksspace to a separate instance of GP.

However, I use a lot of simultanious channels from local to global.

So looking for some general advice… and clarification.

I believe my M4 multi-client… but it seems the only way I can route audio between instances using the M4 is by using the loopback channels as the input for the second instance?

So far this causes feedback becaue I am using the same outputs in both instances as I only have 4.

So would I need an audio interface that supports as many channels as I want to send from my local rackspace (first instance) to my second instance (downstream mixer/processing) all loop backable discretely, plus as many output channels as I would want to come out of the second GP instance?

I would need this to be very low latency. Currently running at 44.1 at 128 samples.

It is not clear what kind of audio you wnat to route between instances. Do you need it for effects?
In a multi-client ASIO driver scenario, you will have all the inputs and all the outputs of your audio interface available in each of the GP instances.

basically, I have each of my instrument groups routing out of my local to my global… using about 12 channels simultaniously.

I want to look at moving all my global rackspace parts, my leslie, all my processing, etc… to a second instance because I am getting artifacting when I build up sustain on certain patches.

But that is a lot of channels I would need to pass through… so what is the best way to approach this and would I need 24 plus channels of audio interface processing to do this?

thanks!
