ESI M8U eX 16-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 MIDI Interface with USB Hub

Just imagine the power and versatility of a 16-port MIDI interface, combined with the speed and convenience of USB 3.0 technology. That's what you get with the M8U eX 16-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 MIDI Interface with USB Hub. This sleek, high-performance device is more than just a MIDI interface; it's a central hub for all your MIDI and USB devices, whether you're in the studio or performing live.

The M8U eX boasts 16 professional MIDI ports, all of which can be used as either inputs or outputs, thanks to ESI's pioneering MIDI auto-detection technology. This means you can configure the device to suit your specific needs, whether that's 16 outputs, 16 inputs, or any combination in between. The current configuration is clearly displayed via colored LEDs on the front panel, making it easy to see at a glance.

But the M8U eX doesn't stop at MIDI. It also features an integrated USB 3.0 hub, allowing you to connect other USB devices such as software dongles or USB keyboards directly to your computer. This makes the M8U eX a true central hub for your MIDI and USB devices.

The M8U eX is 100% class compliant and can be bus powered, or powered via the included 5V DC power supply if needed for other USB devices. It works seamlessly with Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11, and macOS systems (both 32-bit and 64-bit), without the need for additional drivers.

In addition to its interface capabilities, the M8U eX also functions as a standalone Thru and Merge solution for your MIDI devices. With the push of a button, you can merge multiple MIDI signals and send them out through a single port, or send signals through multiple ports from just one input.

To help you get started, the M8U eX comes bundled with a powerful software package for professional recording, song creation, and audio mixing. This includes Cubasis LE, a compact version of Steinberg's mobile multitouch sequencer that's designed for quick and easy operation.

In short, the M8U eX 16-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 MIDI Interface with USB Hub is a powerful, versatile, and user-friendly solution for all your MIDI and USB needs. Whether you're a professional musician or a hobbyist, the M8U eX is a valuable addition to your setup.
