MOTU Micro Express

The MOTU Micro Express is a miniaturized version of the MIDI Express XT. Th interface boasts many of the same features as its older sister, albeit in a half-space unit with four MIDI inputs and six outputs. Taking full advantage of its USB connectivity, the Micro Express achieves pristine timing accuracy, hot-swapping support, and plug-and-play extension. Additionally, the interface can be powered via USB bus. For those that needing to connect another sound source or synthesizer, simply add another Micro Express or MOTU USB MIDI interface via USB hub.

Because the interface is capable of supporting four inputs and six outputs, it affords control over a total of 96 separate MIDI channels! Users can reroute any input to any output, merge inputs and outputs, and mute MIDI data for an astonishing amount of versatility. This means the Micro Express is perfect for both studio and stage environments.
