Roland created a sturdy (metal and high grade plastics), stable and very compatible audio interface. It works on Windows 10(with ASIO drivers from Roland), Linux (plug-n-play) and my Android phone.
Latency is lowest on my Linux RT kernel, for Windows I probably need to find the best trade-off between buffer size vs latency and very high on my Android phone (approx 300ms), but that is to be expected. Monitoring works great, both direct and with signal back via PC, although latency can become an issue.
The interface does not need any sound setup from the computer, everything is configurable from the front panel, except for the compressor modes (switch at the back of the unit). The leds are useful and practical enough for monitoring peaks, although there are only 3 modes leds off/green/red. Knobs are sturdy. Only gripe is that the on/off switch is at the back of the unit, I'd rather have it at the front or integrated in the volume knob..
The midi setup is also working and a nice addition for cable management, as I only need one USB cable to connect to the workstation.
I use it to record voice (with 48v powered condenser mic's) and guitar (both direct and via amp head with XLR and/or Line-out connection). Low/no noise on interface. I've also used the interface to rip some old cassettes and vinyl to a digital format.
The limiter/compressor is a nice feature although I really need to test out the different settings with my guitars connected. Compressor 1 according to the manual is for guitar/drum and comp2 for voice, need to check the effects on both.
I haven't tested the loop function or the analog outputs yet.
