Thanks for the information!
I have a maudio audiophile 24/96 isn't that enough to connect (multiple)
instruments?

About the sounds, what are sounds which are used a lot in 'light' music?
I know and like the hammond organ sounds and the Rhodes sounds.....

Is there a piano / keyboard which can make those sounds too?

And how does software sounds on linux (inclusive commercial) compare to
sounds (modules) of keyboards?
Can you compare the rhodes soundfont with such a sound made with a (not
to expensive) keyboard?
