if its just for those inputs you could get a small behringer desk which comes with fx onboard- i assume most of the work will be one with the laptop-

hook up some midi to control it (a great usb soundcard with midi is an Alesis IO2 £99 it only needs the asio driver installed and its ready to go) and run ableton live- then you can trigger loops or any samples. I am only suggesting behringer instead of Mackie as a cheap alternative- unless you are a real sound guru there is no need for the extra expense.

Subject: RE: [Orb] Advice needed re: Music Setup

That's what I was gonna say - one caveat (I know this is NA to present discussion) - their DJ mixer is a turd, WAY not what I expected from them. But their studio boards are great, esp for the money.

Hi Guys, Im looking to have a small music setup for a project Im
involved in.
So far the plan is to have a Korg MiniSynth, an Electribe MX and my laptop
hooked up to a mixing desk and using a Kaoss Pad for some live effects.
I dont know much about mixing desks and would appriciate some advice on
what would be a good choice.
My problem is all the desks i have seen, seem to have loads of mic
inputs and
just a couple of other inputs and what i would want is the opposite.
Any ideas, advice would be appriciated.

Steve
