8. Big question here. If I have for example 18 tracks recorded for a tune and I want to sequence, would I not need a sequencer with tons of knobs or how do you do this? Do you know MIDI? MIDI send just events, no sound. Each event (key down, key up, pitch bend, general controller...) has a channel ...

You got it. A mixing desk usually offers some internal routing options for FX, but a patch becomes necessary if you have several FX, or many synths which exceed the number of voices in your mixing desk etc. You may also find MIDI patch bays, like this one: http://www.spacefold.com/colin/ps/gear/Rola...

Talking about FAT synth, I'd recommend the Jupiter 8 (not 6). What a SOUND!!!
