Anonymusfrom San Angelo, tx February 26, 2013Music Background: hobbyest, noise maker, with rare live performances, If only all midi devices were this simple!No knobs, no buttons, just install drivers, plug in, connect to appropreate devices, assign Midi port on FL Studio and dont even bat an eye if you're taking it on the road, its built like a tank, complements other MOTU half rack gear well (like my MOTU Ultralite mk3) and gives me a mobile road ready solution to a problem faced within my studio; Which was how to add another 5 midi ins and outs to my mobil studio or add 5 midi ins and outs for home composition. More live gear for toting along and sends midi control messages to my gear without error.
Myran Rivardfrom February 12, 2013Music Background: Musician, composer, sound designer, equipment designer, live sound tech MOTU micro liteIt was what I was looking for. I have more than one keyboard controller and it works with all controllers great. I use my 49 key controller at the computer to audition the sounds, then use the new 88es to play.
Marvin Glennfrom United States December 11, 2012Music Background: Pro Musician, Home Recording Engineer Review of MOTU Micro Lite InterfaceI bought this to replace a Midisport 4X4 because it doesn't work with Win 7.I am completely satisfied with the MOTU because it works perfectly with all of my gear and my new Win 7 64 bit system.
Stan DeVriesfrom Rockville MD USA August 8, 2012Music Background: Hobbyist, pipe organ enthusiast Plug and Play MIDI integrationPort structure allows me to have 2 MIDI devices which send on channel 1 to be handled separately, while routing inputs to outputs. No channel mapping required - awesome!
Brandon Peoplesfrom Lawson, MO USA October 19, 2011Music Background: Student, Pro Musician, Home Recording Engineer Works Like a CharmI've had several problems with MIDI I/O devices in the past and this was a cheap and flawless device to fix those problems. With most other devices MIDI notes can stick and mess up everything. So far I have not had this problem with the Micro lite. I'm even running it along side two exterior sound cards that I am using as an audio aggregate device and they are all working together without a hiccup.I really needed this for live shows, so that I don't have to haul around expensive keyboards just to have a midi controller to hook up to my computer. Now I don't have to worry about breaking my good controllers because I can use any controller with a MIDI out port. Even better yet, it includes a half rack combination kit to combine with another half rack device. 
James Williamsfrom san francisco ca, USA October 18, 2011Music Background: semi pro musician 5x5 motuperfect. just what the doctor ordered. i just have to get use to perfecting my egnigma through my keyboard controller. thanks
Chazfrom Antelope, CA July 26, 2011Music Background: Hobbyist Motu for meI had an Emagic 2 in 4 out and 2 usb I/o single ports and wanted to have just one i/o for all midi. Using Cubase, this Motu pluged in, I renamed the port devices in cubase to each in and out and it's working great and if I switch to my I7 - Windows 7 computer it should work fine. Working on XP now. Love it and it's a simple IO that cubase see's no problem. Wtih old setup I would have midi timing issues every once in a while and wanted to have one device to rule in or out of the problem. Can't say I've had any issues with Motu. Exactly what I wanted.
Stormy Weatherfrom San Angelo, tx March 28, 2013Music Background: hobbyest, noise maker, with rare live performances, Its not MIDI-ocre.This device is so straitforeward I almost feel like a jerk for wanting to devise a new use for it, FL studio's routing options with it make it priceless and of course its giving me the ability to connect another 5 devices to my hybrid studio vs just on or daisy chaining with a ultralite mk 3 which I paired it with, whats not in the description is that this includes the mounting kit to connect with other half racks sold by MOTU. Its built solidly and its an important part of my studio and portable needs of my setup.4 stars as it does what it says, since it doesnt make breakfast in the morn or buy me a surplus of lottory tickets, I have a hard time getting it its 5th star. It works, and does what its supposed to do. I am happy with it.
ed weibefrom baltimore maryland December 6, 2012Music Background: engineer still working on it but looks like it will work out fineI am not expecting any troubles,
Neil Wrightfrom Wyomissing, PA September 19, 2012Music Background: Professional musician/bandleader/songwriter/engineer Does what it's supposed to - what else can I say?Had to order this because Apple bought out Emagic years ago and of course they wouldn't make drivers for my Unitor8 and AMT midi interfaces, which I loved and paid lots of money for. Of course I also lost support and updates for Logic Audio at the same time, which left a bad taste in my mouth about them.Anyways, I bought this so I could use Windows7 in the studio and what can I say? It installed without a hitch, the setup screens are fully idiot-proof and it just works, which is all I want. I never have to think about this piece of equipment; it's just THERE - doing its job - and I can devote my full attention to figuring out where Cakewalk moved all my SONAR shortcuts to in SONAR X1, which takes a LOT of attention! Don't hesitate if this is what you need. No worries, no surprises. Good stuff at a good price.
SingHashfrom Singapore October 11, 2006Music Background: Professional Hobbyist microliteA competent, set-and-forget interface. Bus-powered, so there's no wall wart. Absolutely reliable performance on MacOSX, and a good value on a dollar per port basis.
T-Know Francorsifrom Mumbai India October 15, 2012Music Background: Musician/Producer Just what I neededHad a couple of times when it didn't detect ..Couldn't really figure out why but otherwise when it works it works great.

from Denver April 12, 2006 MOTU MicroLite 5x5 USB Interface is splendidI replaced a joystick midi interface with the MOTU USB 5x5. It was easy! My Edirol control surface works with Sonar4. Yamaha & Korg keyboards, drum pad, soft synths - all working just fine. Only gripe is the USB driver for WinXP is not "certified" by Microsoft. |
