YamahaAndy, I purchased a Yamaha 01X two weeks ago.
After a difficult installation with mLan (firewire) my setup is now complete.
The 01X is a digital studio mixer with motorized faders,DSP (2 effect processors),controller for Cubase (or other software sequencer).
I had to build a brand new pc to get it work without problems.
No soundcard, no heavy VGA, just lots of ram, fast cpu, a fast HD and a compatible firewire PCI card.
The 01X will do all the rest.
Although I don't know all the possibilities yet, I'm very excited about the studio mixer.
Just take a look at the 01X website and maybe it is what you are looking for.

Ow forgot to mention, the 01X has a special electric guitar input.
