M-Audio’s most advanced MIDI interface, the USB MIDISPORT 8x8/s is a powerhouse with features and bandwidth to burn. 8 x 8 operation offers enough connectivity to directly interface with tons of MIDI gear and discretely address up to 128 MIDI channels—in and out. In addition to the high speed and convenience of USB, the MIDISPORT 8x8/S also features a legacy serial port allowing connection with older computers. Full SMPTE time code support even allows synchronization to videotape and multitrack recorders.
