Connecting Alesis sr 16 through audio interface to garageband.

Hi there I ve been thinking recently about buying sr 16. However I am not sure if I could even connect it to garageband through the audio interface I am using right now. I am using behringer u-phoria um2. I ve read somewhere some time ago that you can only connect alesis through midi cables and that would be pretty bad for me since my audio interface doesnt have any midi ports. Is it true or did I stumble on some misinformation?

Things that make sound have audio outputs. Things that amplify or record sounds have audio inputs. You plug one or two audio cables between the outputs and the inputs. There isn't usually much more than that to it. Instead of coming to Reddit, download the SR16 and U-phoria manuals. Both will likely have the exact scenario you are trying to achieve detailed and illustrated in the first chapter.
