Description

Built from the same technology found in the MIDI Timepiece, the MIDI Express 128 from MOTU is a professional MIDI interface and that provides plug-and-play connectivity to any USB-equipped Macintosh or Windows computer. The unit provides eight MIDI in, nine MIDI out (the ninth port mirrors output eight), for a total of 128 MIDI channels. Large front-panel LEDs illuminate to indicate MIDI activity. The unit takes full advantage of USB, providing high-speed MIDI throughput, sub-millisecond timing accuracy, support for "hot-swapping" and plug-and-play expansion. In the event that one needs to connect another sound module or synthesizer, another MOTU USB MIDI interface can be connected via any available USB port. And the MIDI Express 128 is entirely powered by the USB port - no wall wart or AC plug. The interface is housed in a rugged metal casing and slides easily into a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

About the MOTU MIDI Express 128 MIDI Interface

The MOTU MIDI Express 128 is a streamlined, high-capacity 8-in/9-out USB MIDI interface built to serve as the central nervous system for large, computer-based electronic music studios. While it shares the exact same physical 1U chassis and I/O count as the flagship MIDI Express XT, it is designed strictly for producers who handle all their MIDI routing, filtering, and merging natively inside a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) rather than relying on onboard hardware memory.

Because hardware synth collectors quickly outgrow the standard 1-in/1-out MIDI ports provided by basic audio interfaces, they are often forced into daisy-chaining their gear—a practice that introduces severe latency and timing slop down the line. The MIDI Express 128 solves this by providing 128 discrete channels of parallel MIDI via a single USB connection, ensuring every drum machine, sequencer, and keyboard synthesizer has its own dedicated, zero-latency lane of communication to the computer.
