High Performance USB 3.0 MIDI with automatic I/O detection
M4U eX is a compact and extremely powerful USB 3.0 MIDI interface with 8 MIDI ports.
Each of the 8 ports can either be used as MIDI input or as MIDI output, you can thus use up to 8 outputs at a time or 8 inputs, or 6 outputs and 2 inputs - to name some examples. And the best part? M4U eX automatically detects it based on your connections to other devices' MIDI input or output, and each automatic input / output configuration is displayed with a different color on the LED indicator on the front.
M4U eX is not just the world's first USB 3.0 MIDI interface, it also includes a USB 3.0 hub with 3 connectors for your other USB devices such as software dongles or USB keyboards etc. and thus it becomes a central hub for your musical instruments and USB devices. It can be powered from USB or, if you connect other devices, from the included power adapter.
In addition to being connected to your Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10 or macOS computer, where it provides perfect timing and the best low latency performance of all MIDI interfaces, it can also be used standalone without a computer: different modes allow you to route input to output signals, merge MIDI signals or use the M4U eX as a MIDI thru box. These modes can be selected with the push of a button.
If 8 ports are not enough, you can connect several M4U eX's to your computer simultaneously, or you can choose the larger model M8U eX , with 16 ports.
