Interface with 10 line inputs?

Currently I’m running the AR MK2 and A4 MK2 into a Focusrite 8i6 interface -> iPad for looping, processing, and effects.

Using the stereo outs, then also Kick and bass as an individual track out has maxed out the inputs of my interface.

I also have a DN and OT that I would like to setup.

I’ve been looking for an interface with more line inputs. I probably wouldn’t actually use them all at the same time, but I would like to have everything plugged in and ready to go so I don’t have to plug/unplug boxes each time I want to use them.

Seems like most interfaces have a max of 8 line inputs?

Currently thinking that a focusrite 18i8 + Octopre could potentially work.

Another alternative would be to swap the iPad for a computer/DAW and just use overbridge…

Interested in hearing how people have multiple pieces of gear set up simultaneously?

MOTU 828ES has 8 line inputs on the back, and two inputs on the front that can also take line inputs, for a total of 10.
