Interfacing with Reality

I read the first review too. It was part of the reason I bought the E-MU XMIDI 2 x 2.

Alas, reality is different for me... SONAR will not recognize it by default. Each (and every) time I use SONAR I have to configure this interface from scratch. Then, when in SONAR, Ableton Live and ACID Pro 6.0, I have found it to be too slow and/or "twitchy" to function properly with my BFD Drum Plug-In.

But make no mistake about it, this is a GREAT MIDI interface, as long as you don't try to actually record something with it.

I think I will try the M-Audio MidiSport next and hope for better results. Anyone want to buy an E-MU XMIDI 2 x2 for really cheap?

This MIDI interface is nearly perfect. It is lightning fast and comes with the USB cable to connect it to your computer. I have it connected with the Korg Toneworks AX3000B and they work very well together. It does not require any batteries or power cords, because it draws its power via the computer USB port. I have a computer that used the Windows 98 platform; the XMIDI 2x2 software only works with Windows XP or higher. I do have another computer that runs Windows XP though, which I will use. To sum up...it the E-MU XMIDI 2x2 works well.
