All inputs on the Scarlett 8i6 are routed directly to your DAW software for recording, but Focusrite
Control also allows you to route these signals internally within the device to the outputs so that you
can monitor the audio signals with ultra-low latency - before they arrive at your DAW, should you
need to do so.
The Scarlett 8i6 also has connectors for sending and receiving MIDI data; this lets you use it as a
MIDI interface between your computer’s USB port and other items of MIDI equipment in your system.
