Overview
8-in/8-out MIDI/SMPTE Interface/Patchbay/Merger (Mac)
This MIDI interface and SMPTE synchronizer for Macintosh and Windows provides 8 MIDI IN, 9 MIDI OUT, and 128 MIDI channels. It is plug-and-play compatible with all Macintosh software, and features 16 convenient, one-touch front-panel presets (8 factory and 8 user programmable). The software console for Mac provides comprehensive routing, merging, and muting.
Converts and stripes SMPTE in all frame formats (24, 25, 29.97 drop and non-drop, and 30). SMPTE jam sync with adjustable freewheeling for drop-out free sync. Supports MIDI Machine Control. Serves as either an MMC master or slave; distributes MMC transport commands to all other MMC devices. Pedal input for momentary foot switch or audio click-to-MIDI conversion. Internal power supply(no wall-warts).
No other MIDI interface offers this much value at such an affordable price.
