Have also had memory issues that may or may not have been resolved by a battery replacement - always a potential issue with this vintage.īought and returned the Ethernet iConnectivity unit after discovering that it needed an attached host PC to be running to keep some watchdog program on the network for the network MIDI to work, (which imho defeats the point of using a peer-to-peer protocol like ETH), serious non-starter, returned to sender.Īm anxiously awaiting another ethernet RTP-MIDI offering from Alyseum, am hopeful that MIDI over ethernet will prove to be the "one-true" future protocol to allow a transport environment that is friendly to a mixture of MIDI, OSC and the newer high bandwidth uses of MIDI that are begining to be explored, ie. Your purchases also help protect forests, including trees. These days am using the MOTU Expresss XT and, while it works ok for the most part, I have found the drivers/software-interface to be very hit-or-miss on my Win10 system - (it worked normally at first but lately claims the device isn't detected, but somehow the changes still end up making it to the device after the program spins out for a while). Your purchases help youth music programs get the gear they need to make music. (programming the channels in hexadecimal is a bonus!) Have had several older JL Cooper units and they worked reliably for years for a crazy octopus nest of cables connecting up a bunch of 90's boxes, they are decent options if you don't also need a PC interface.

I also happened to see a 360 Systems MIDI Patcher at Lewiston Music in Lewiston, NY a few weeks ago and I bet they still have it. Insanely useful - I use mine pretty much every day. No parameters or buttons or menus, just eight sliders. Does one thing, and really well - simple, solid build, intuitive MIDI matrix.

Things like key splits, MIDI channel remapping, transposition, etc.
KAWAI MIDI PATCHBAY SOFTWARE SOFTWARE
I assume you could daisy-chain more patchbays quite easily. MIDI Patchbay lets you hook up your various pieces of MIDI software and hardware and pass MIDI data between them, applying assorted filters on the way. I have Kawai and Roland interconnected with one pair of I/O so it's possible to route any port anywhere.
KAWAI MIDI PATCHBAY SOFTWARE PORTABLE
Roland A880 - 8x IN, 8x OUT, more advanced features like routing preset storage, MIDI merge on two selected channels (one can carry MIDI clock), immediate control for basic routingĪlyseum AL-88c - 8x IN, 8x OUT, very small with tiny footprint - good for portable setups, requires software for configuration but runs standalone with flashed routing config, can act as MIDI interface, really flexible Cube48 wrote: Kawai MAV-8 - cheap, 4x IN, 8x OUT, simple but immediate
