From the owner's manual:"...The 688 MIDISTUDIO is an 8-channel multitrack cassette recorder, a 20 input mixing system with electronic routing control, and a MIDI Tape Synchronizer combined into a single workstation. It's the first 8-track PORTASTUDIO® expressly designed to meet the challenge of the MIDI revolution. Its mixing section is designed in a new way to accommodate the greater number of line Inputs in a typical MIDI studio, up to 20 at once plus 4 effect returns.
