Should I look into M-Audio Midisport 8x8 or eMagic Unitor amt8 or any generation of MOTU Midi Express XT, if they happen to be properly manageable from a Windows7/XP PC? Would you guys please share any comments, caveats or advice? Speaking of budget, I'd prefer keeping it within US$100-150 (extendable if any really good reasons). MOTU MIDI Timepiece AV (with or without USB).Channel/event filtering doesn't matter (but good as an option).I'd prefer one with an external PSU (to avoid all the usual 110/220 hassle), but that's of less importance.Timing stability: well, the less jitter/slipping, the better.User interface: something non-spartan and visual is welcome.
MX 8 MIDI PATCHBAY PATCH
Memory-wise: ability to store at least 10-12 patch settings.For the quick change 4 inputs and 8 outputs are. 3 MIDI inputs and 7 outputs are situated on the rear to minimize the cabling. The setting can be effected over slides, so that you have also a visual control of it. Each of the 8 outputs can be linked or switched off to one of the 4 inputs. If it happens to have any computer connectivity, it should be USB and should be able to run on XP and Win7 - be it a full computer-to-MIDI interface, or just patch management. The MAV-8 is a 4x8 patchbay as rack device (19').The USB 2.0 host ports provide up to 500mA per port. Yamaha has also an old midi patchbay that seems to be pretty usable, the MJC-8 It is the most sophisticated Midi patchbay ever created and continues to be in a class of its own mLAN Graphic Patchbay software enables you to set up and manage connections between mLAN devices using a graphic computer interface to connect and disconnect virtual. Includes a power switch and stand-by button. MRCC is powered by USB-PD (Power Delivery) with USB C connector. Powered with an included International AC Power Supply with regional mains adapters. Ability to run standalone is A MUST as is standalone configurability (no computer should be used - just me and the box). MIDI CC control for built-in Arpeggiator and MIDI Clock, CV Clock Out, & Light Show.


I probably also will do with a 6 ins/8 outs. Ok, so I'm looking for a 8x8 rackmount MIDI patchbay able to merge inputs.
