«  a beautiful machine »

I bought long ago in order to receive MIDI input and a sound card fast (ASIO) on my laptop (a P4 with 512MB RAM running XP). Temper but I mainly use Cubase and Reason and it has always turned out well, only a few synth VST (freeware) and a sampler I have posed some problems but I think this is due to the ram in my PC is rather narrow. The beast also runs fine under Vista.

UTILIZATION

Overall, the results are very good whether it be the sound quality or latency.
on the other hand, WHOLESALE flat, drivers are no longer updated. Officially, the latter system is compatible with Vista PC, but I heard that some come to install it on Seven.

GETTING STARTED

The machine is easy to use and complete.
Rich connections: Midi in out
Microphone inputs (with phantom power) / line (2xmono)
Send entries on the two loops to create pure effects
Stereo line output
Headphone
Possibility of adjusting the level has all the floors (and out), direct monitoring (on / off and level)
Setting the latency ASIO, DirectX, MME, ...

OVERALL OPINION

I still serves today. Sometimes I also use a Zoom H4 as a sound card but it is less functional.
I particularly appreciate its versatility and robustness against I bitterly regret the abandonment of any updated driver.

Put off the problem of the US-122 driver is always in style of the day (MK2 version does not seem to bring anything new) is up to you to see.
