Connection/chaining advice

Greetings all,

Just received my A4 in the mail today and it’s so sexy in all ways. Pretty new to chaining together synths because most of the time my synths have just been mono and I would plug them directly into my interface. With this stereo Elektron gear it’s nice to have some onboard effects but I’m at a bit of a loss as to how I should best connect them.

My audio interface has 8 inputs.

My current plan:

  • Guitar -> Audio Interface (1 input)
  • Moog Sub Phatty -> Audio Interface (1 input)
  • Digitakt -> Digitone -> Audio Interface (2 inputs)
  • Analog Four MKII -> Audio Interface (2 inputs)

This way I have complete control over my guitar, Moog, and A4MKII’s effects and they are not linked to the DT/DN inputs. An alteration I could do is simply chain none of them and plug the DT directly into the audio interface. I just figured the DN’s onboard effects could be very nice with the DT.

What do you think?

Edit: Forgot to include the whole MIDI situation. Right now I just have my Digitone sending MIDI to my Moog. Any suggestions on that? Otherwise I guess I’d just send clock to the A4.
