Let's assume that someone is going to put an 88 Yammie keyboard into this setup . . . the Ketron would come out, right and you'd go with Yamaha voices on board, right?



Well, you could pick either synth for MIDI playback from inside BIAB, the Yamaha or the Ketron SD2. If you pick the SD2, then the Yamaha keyboard would act as a controller on the Thru channel of BIAB, but the sounds you heard when playing the keyboard would come from the SD2.

Mac - If you're recording voice and other "live" elements then you would need a sound card of sufficient quality beyond the "on-board" card for the audio recording - correct.

Cheers



Well, you don't "need" another soundcard, as the onboard card can indeed record, but for best quality of the audio, it is a very good idea to use one when recording new tracks is the issue.

But for someone using the setup for demos or arrangement ideas then the on-board would be sufficient - the key would be adding good powered speakers?



For "today's" built in soundcards, yes indeed. I think you can go back about four years or so in age of computer and expect the same good results.
