Midi is already digital information. I do not believe the Lynx has any midi ports because it is dedication to AD/DA. You would want to have a midi adapter on your computer elsewhere. An RME PCI 9632 or 9652 would do the trick since you don't like usb/midi adapters.

Check this out:

Manufacturer's Description for Lynx Studio Technology Aurora 16 16-Channel Digital Audio Converter

The new Aurora line of digital audio converters from Lynx Studio Technology offers unprecedented audio quality and control in single-rack space eight and sixteen channel models. The Aurora 16 features 192 kHz analog to digital and digital to analog conversion with front panel control of all routing and sample rate options. Extended functions in Aurora are accessible via computer with the Lynx AES16 or by infrared using compatible laptops and handheld Pocket PCs. The rear panel has Clock and MIDI In and Out connectors and an LSlot bay, for the optional use of ADAT, Firewire and other audio interfaces.

Problem solved! I think you need to throw Lynx and RME into a closet and the one that comes out alive the next morning is the one you choose. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. Of course if you choose MADI you might need both!

Ah, found this:

midi is for the remote console. What is the remote console?

Control surface.

Thanks John!
