M-Audio Midisport 8x8s

Great features, nothing is missing

Price paid: $299 USD

UTILIZATION

Its not hard to use though. Installed it without any problem (both in windows 2000 and XP) and Cubase saw the ports. Stilll, read the manual to make sure you hook it correctly.

Seems very robust. Never took it to any concert but it doesn't appear fragile at all.

OVERALL OPINION

I love it

This type of tool is essential when you have more than 4 gnrateurs audio and / or multi-effects driven by noon.
I do not use SMPTE.

UTILIZATION

Drivers (W2K) trs stable although rarely updated.
The interface has not saturated but sometimes encounters a problem at boot (USB signal is not recognized). Just stain the rack and on again to return everything to normal.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this interface from 2 years ago, with two successive informatqiues config.
Too bad the 8 MIDI in / out either in front (I prfr derrire all connections!)
Too bad there is not some MIDI ports supplmentaires.
Good interface, solid, srieuse, and slightly less than the competition CHRE (the date when I bought it).

8 inputs and 8 outputs noon USB
SMPTE

Flat: Alim 9V external power, they should integrate the power supply into the rack.

UTILIZATION

Before using this interface, I managed to configure my USB hardware to exploit their MIDI output to drive my old racks (without usb noon).

Installed in a jiffy Vista SP2, the drivers seem stable. They seem to be updated to Seven.
ES MIDI work as simply as possible.

I do not manipé SMPTE (see other reviews on this topic).

OVERALL OPINION

Easy to install (Vista SP2) and does what it needs to do unlike other MIDI interfaces ...

With the eighth / s I have no connection dilemma noon when I bought an old rack noon.

Vital when it was over four expander.
Connect on a P4, 1 GB DDR 3 HD ((40 go)
I use it on VST instuments, very friendly

USE

The drivers are not put a days very often, but very stable revenche finally for me ....

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 6 months, I have not essey else, I made a confience midiman rather than to Steinberg and Midex 8.
