About MOTU Micro Express 4x6 USB MIDI Interface with Timecode for Mac and PC

You can elevate your music production and live performance capabilities with the MOTU Micro Express 4x6 USB MIDI Interface with Timecode, a compact yet advanced version of the acclaimed MIDI Express XT. This professional-grade interface is designed to seamlessly integrate with both Mac and PC systems, offering unparalleled versatility for musicians, producers, and audio engineers.

Crafted for high-quality performance, the Micro Express USB is a sleek half-rack unit equipped with 4 inputs and 6 outputs, providing ample connectivity for your MIDI devices. With 96 MIDI channels at your disposal, you can manage complex setups with ease. The interface's full Time Code and MIDI Machine Control implementation ensure that it meets the rigorous demands of professional studio environments.

Innovative and user-friendly, the Micro Express stands out with its 16 convenient one-touch presets, including 8 factory and 8 user-programmable options. These presets allow instant access to various operational configurations directly from the front panel, streamlining your workflow.

The included ClockWorks console software enhances your MIDI routing, merging, and muting capabilities, offering a comprehensive control solution for both Mac OS X and Windows 7/Vista users.

As a top-tier SMPTE time code synchronizer, the Micro Express excels in converting and striping time code across all frame formats, such as 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 drop and non-drop, and 30. Its SMPTE "jam sync" feature with adjustable freewheeling ensures smooth and glitch-free synchronization.

The interface's support for MIDI Machine Control (MMC) allows it to function as either an MMC master or slave, distributing transport commands to all connected MMC devices for cohesive device management.

Enhance your expressive capabilities during live performances by connecting a foot switch to the front-panel pedal input. Program it to generate MIDI data upon activation, such as sending patch changes to synths and sound modules, adding a new dimension to your stage presence.

The Micro Express is also designed for convenience with its expandable, plug-and-play bus-powered USB operation. High-speed MIDI throughput and sub-millisecond timing accuracy are guaranteed, along with the flexibility of "hot-swapping" and easy expansion. Simply connect additional sound modules or synths via any available USB port, and because it's bus-powered, the Micro Express is ready to accompany you wherever your music takes you.

Choose the MOTU Micro Express 4x6 USB MIDI Interface with Timecode for a reliable, professional, and innovative solution that brings precision and versatility to your musical endeavors.
