Rme Fireface 800. Help.

[incogneato]

Im wondering, can this audio interface handle 2 midi controllers at once. one being an m audio keyboard controller and the other a trigger finger?? also you can plug monitors into the fireface, true? or do you need extra hardware for this stuff

Every audio interface I can remember seeing only has a max of 1 MIDI input. You may be able to get around this with some kind of "MIDI thru" method. I've never tried it, but I bet it would work.

Another method is use a USB MIDI controller along with your other MIDI gadget which you would run through your audio interface.

Another method is to go this route:
MIDI Solutions 2-input MIDI Merger

Another method:
M-Audio USB MIDIsport 4x4 MIDI Interface

also you can plug monitors into the fireface, true? or do you need extra hardware for this stuff

You have 8 outs with this RME Fireface 800. You will have to figure out how to control volume on the monitors, however.
