Description
The professional MIDI interface for your home studio: FastLane is a simple 2 input, 2 output, 32-MIDI channel interface for Macintosh and Windows. It installs in seconds and opens your computer to a world of music software. FastLane's unique advantage: a MIDI thru button allows you to play to your gear even when your computer is turned off -- without having to disconnect cables. No other USB interface offers this feature for this price.
FastLane takes full advantage of USB, giving you increased MIDI throughput, better timing accuracy, support for "hot-swapping" and plug-and-play expansion. Need to connect another sound module or synth? No problem. Just add another FastLane via a standard USB hub. Or mix and match FastLane with another multi-port USB interface, such as the affordable 4-IN, 6-OUT micro express.
FastLane is specially engineered to operate with multiple USB devices, so your software will never lose contact with it, regardless of how many times you restart your computer or how many other USB devices you connect.
FastLane's in & out status lights for each MIDI port provide quick visual confirmation of MIDI transmission.
FastLane is available in your choice of 5 fruity iMac-friendly colors, as well as classy basic black and now charcoal.
No power supply or batteries required! Includes USB cable.

Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) FastLane USB MIDI Interface Reviews
5 out of 10
"Windows 98SE plug and pray (prey?)"
Apparently "Windows 93 SE compatible" is a
joke in the world of MIDI interfaces. I don't
know about other operating systems, but using
this one with 98SE is a disaster. Freeze-ups,
garbled data (wrong patches, transpositions,
random notes that sustain forever) and
sometimes just agonizing silence.
I heard MOTU was good - I can't comment on
their other products, but "98SE compatible"
could be considered false advertising. I got
their "latest" driver from the internet - years
old but supposedly specifically for 98SE, but
that just had DIFFERENT problems from the CD...
If you KNOW it's compatible with your system
it's probably fine (I bought it for SOME
reason), but if you don't know, ask someone
who's not a salesperson (they're trained to
always say "yeah, I actually use that one
myself!")
I couldn't get as far as stress-testing it
(tons of controller data on all channels, or
multiple devices).
I'll give tech support a chance to respond,
then probably get my money back.
