The Marc 4 MIDI combines 4 analogue I/Os with 2 MIDI I/Os to give you the ideal companion to Cakewalk, Cubase, Logic or any other MIDI and audio sequencer.
Designed to the very highest specifications, the Marc 4 MIDI can handle audio of up to 24-bit/96kHz, giving you stunning quality and resolution. Advanced driver architecture also means latency levels are kept at a minimum - as low as 2ms when using ASIO or DirectX drivers.
The Marc 4 MIDI is the ideal trade up sound card for the home or studio musician who is beginning to find the limitations of existing hardware, and it's audio clarity means their is no finer value card for broadcast, music and multimedia recording work.
The Marc 4 MIDI now features .GSIF drivers, the low latency format for GigaSampler and GigaStudio, giving you superb software sampling options, as well as the best sequencing card for flexibility and cost.
AKM analogue convertors ensure the highest audio clarity whether recording or playing back. 24-bit, 96kHz support provides resolution far beyond CD quality, and with 2x2 MIDI connections it's the perfect card for live band recording. All the new Marian cards come with a connection to sync to one another, giving you the option to upgrade for more inputs and outputs PLUS loss-less digital quality.
The Marc-4 MIDI installed alongside and linked to a Marc-4 Digi gives you 10 inputs and 10 outputs: 8 analogue inputs 8 analogue ouputs, S/PDIF digital I/O and 2x2 MIDI I/O for well under £400.
