About This Product!
Description
8 IN/ 8 OUT USB MIDI Interface with hardware MIDI patcher
The UM-880 is the most powerful, easy to use MIDI interface/MIDI patcher available. The vast majority of functions are available through either one or two button commands on the front panel.
With eight sets of MIDI inputs and outputs, the UM-880 lets you simultaneously control up to 128 channels. It's easy to connect to your computerÖsimply connect a USB cable and you're done. The UM-880 is hot-swappable, so you can plug and unplug the UM-880 even while your computer is on. You can also use up to four UM-880 units simultaneously, expanding your system to 512 channels.
The UM-880 features hardware MIDI patcher functionality. MIDI can be routed directly, simply by pressing the panel buttons; and there are none of the complicated settings that are all too common on software patchers. The hardware MIDI patcher makes use of HDMR (Hardware Direct MIDI Routing) technology to ensure low-latency.
The UM-880 can also act as a Stand-alone MIDI patcher with 8 memory locations where you can store patch settings.
Features:
Fast and stable MIDI data transmission realized by FPT (Fast Processing Technology of MIDI transmission)
8 sets of input/out connections can be stored into memory
Easy USB connection to your computer
Convenient 'Merge' function
Cable Check Utility
If you have a lot of MIDI devices, you will find the UM-880 to be an integral part of your studio or stage rack, or both.

Edirol UM880 8x8 USB MIDI Interface and Patcher Reviews
10 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"Might have one annoyance in the design, but still very good."
Feature:
Chose this one over the others, because I wanted to the versatility to use it as a standalone patchbay if needed.
Quality:
Solid. Edirol has a reputation for cheap consumer gear. This one should have been presented with the Roland trademark. It's not a toy.
Value:
Even if the problem I mentioned above is a total bug, it's still worth the money.
Sound:
If it doesn't hum or buzz in the rack, it's good. In this case, the only "sound" it needs to make is "silence."
Support:
I waited to try to get support before reviewing it. Not good. I did get an automated response to my question, but it pointed me to a knowledge base article that had been removed, whose title didn't sound very promising anyway, and that's all.

"if you're thinking MOTU and you have a PC - get this one and save money."
Feature:
simple, powerful, intuitive
Quality:
solid, attractive
Value:
excellent price
Desirability:
yes, it's good. i sold two MOTU MTP AVs the serial and the USB versions. With MOTU, I was spending more time troubleshooting things with their lame tech support, then making music. not so with this product! ..and MOTU, it wasn't my computer! my friend has a couple of Steinberg boxes and those are good as well, but they're more expensive, and don't have as many features as Edirol.
Sound:
well, ..it doesn't make any sound all by itself
Support:
didn't need any - and that is the kind of support that i like
Overall:
I will be satisfied with this product as long as midi instruments are around, ..but if they go firewire
