Guest gareth Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 i was just wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to build a diy midi interface similar to something like Emagic's Unitor 8? Quote

doc Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 Hi,yes it's possible....I've build a 8x Interface some time ago. Just take 4x the USB Module and connect it to a USB Hub. Voila ... you have 8 Ins and 8 Outs.I've put all modules and the USB Hub in a 19" Case 1HE.It's surely not a cheap way and you should look if a ready unit isn't cheaper. But you asked if it's possible ....greets DOC Quote

moebius Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 Hi,This means building 4 MB_USB modules and using commercial USB Hub hardware to connect those to the computers USB port.But, as doc said It's not the cheaper way than buying a multiport midi interface and MB_USB module isn't exactly for the beginners, as Cypress USB chip is surface mounted component..Bye, Moebius Quote
