M-Audio MIDISPORT 8x8 Description

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.

M-Audio Midisport 8x8s

Rating: 9/10

Competitively priced & a fast service, Dolphinmusic delivered the following day. I live very locally though, so that certainly works in my favour. Anyway, the 8x8s USB installed fine on WinXP Home, even though the 8x8s isn't Plug & Play. M-Audio's installation procedure is a bit quirky in that respect. The 8x8s is much easier to install, though, on XP than my old Opcode 8portSE was on Win95/98! There are no conflicts with other hardware. I didn't have to pull out my soundcard first! Other reviews I've seen online have occasionally given this product a bit of a bashing, but at this price for an 8x8 fully matrixed MIDI i/o, I can't complain & it worked fine for me. I havn't tested the SMPTE though as I don't use analogue tape. I suspect other people's setups may be running older versions of Windows & this may possibly be their problem. I'll continue buying from Dolphin if they keep up this level of cheap prices & fast delivery. Thanks for a very useful product.
