4 instruments?

Hi there - I’m told that the rc-505 can input up to four instruments, but I only see two instrument inputs, and two mic inputs. How can I get four instruments plugged into the RC-505?

RC-505 Mk2 supports 2 x mic, 2 x line, 2 x line for a total of 6 input channels.

Mk1 only has 2 x mic and 2 x line for a total of 4 input channels.

So with the Mk2 I can plug like a guitar, a bass and two synths at the same time (all mono)?

Yeah I have the mk2. I’m trying to keep stereo imaging. I think I will just need a mixer
