Works Like a Charm

I'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.

Motu for me

I 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.

microlite

A 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.

MOTU MicroLite 5x5 USB Interface is splendid

I 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.

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
