How many of a model's input ports carry ANY preamp control — the analog run length, counted
from the front.
What it answers is "how far up this box does a head-amp reach", which is the ceiling the port
map needs and the number that was hand-kept beside it (maxInputs: 2 for a Babyface, while the
model declared four analog ports). Counted from the front and stopping at the first run with no
controls, because that is what the ceiling MEANS: an ADAT run after the analog ones ends the
reach, and a model that interleaved them would need a different question rather than a wider
answer to this one.
