Yes, Windows 7圆4, but has also been used on XP … MOTU appear to have the same driver “package” for all. MOTU 828 MKII, you mean on Win 7 of course, isn’t it?

I hope my PC has enough power for that, and that I won’t find inexpected problems. I could connect for example the XMIDI out to the Fantom MIDI in and the XMIDI In to the Fantom Thru, but I don’t know if that could screw the test.Īnyway, maybe I’ll buy 3 XMIDI 2x2, plus my XMIDI 1x1 then I’ll have the 7 In/out I need. Unfortunately, I can’t try MIDI test: the XMIDI 1x1 has male In/Out MIDI plugs since I have no female/female MIDI cable available, I can’t connect the Out port with the In port to do the test. I confirm they are both multiclient and long SysEx capable. Since I already have a XMIDI 1x1, I’ve tried the Win 7 driver (on Win 7 Enterprise). MOTU MIDI Express 128 (x1): according to Bernard Focquet they are SysEx capable, but I’ve found nothing anywhere about multiclient capability or about their speed and jitter.ĮMU XMIDI 1x1 (x1) + XMIDI 2x2 (x2 or x3): so far they seem the best option. Long SysEx: it seems there are serious problems here see Cakewalk Audio & MIDI Interfaces Forum here: Bug in UM-1G Sysex Messaging | Cakewalk Forums

I suspect the UM-3G Win 7 drivers are based on the same code, so… Means no Multiclient capable to me… I also have a Fantom X I’ve installed USB/MIDI Win 7 driver for the Fantom, and I’ve found out they aren’t Multiclient. If this does not solve the problem, use the procedure described in “To reinstall” to reinstall the driver.” “ Cannot select/use the UM-3G device" … "Could the UM-3G be in use by other software?Įxit all applications that are using the UM-3G, and disconnect/reconnect the USB cable of the UM-3G.


About multiclient ability, no definitive answer, but the driver “UM-3G Driver Ver.1.0.0 for Windows® 7 32-bit Edition” Readme file says: Roland UM3G (x3): unfortunately, no good news. I’ve no idea about reliability, speed and jitter though M-Audio MidiSport 4x4 (x2): both Multiclient and long SysEx capable driver available: Thanks MrSoundman, actually I already have an EMU XMIDI 1X1.Īnyway, for anyone interested here you are my findings so far: Still considering a MOTU but I don’t like supporting manufacturers who refuse to develop Linux drivers or even supply enough information for the community to develop our own (hence class-compliancy is important to me). It also performs well on large SysEx transfers (tested with MIDITest) but of course it only has 2 ports I have however used two devices together to get a total of 4 ports, but I don’t know how many more can be used simultaneously. The E-MU Xmidi 2x2 is one device that is class-compliant, but if you load the Windows drivers it gets a proper “name” and becomes multi-client.

Yes some years ago I tried MIDITest on the amt8, serial conection went very well, USB a little less well, so I ended up using serial connection.Ĭomparative overwiev on that page is really outdate now, It would be great if someone could try MIDI test on Win 7 and some currently available MIDI interfaces. It would be great if someone with one on Windows 7 would be so kind as to test it with MIDITest and let us know how it performs On Windows these devices all show up as “USB Audio Device” which makes it a pain to manange if you’ve got more than one.Īfter all that I have to say I don’t own any of these devices although I’m thinking about the MOTU MIDI Express XT. The downside is that class-compliant devices are not multi-client under Windows, but that’s Microsoft’s fault and not the fault of the device. The MOTU 8x8s seems to be the only real game in town at the moment but there’s a simpler device by ESI (the M8U XL) which has the advantage of being “class-compliant”, meaning it will work without any 3rd-party drivers on Mac, Windows and Linux. Have a read of the section “DirectMusic and SysEx” for an explanation. I think more important is how a MIDI interface handles SysEx at Windows level, and the only diagnostic tool I know of that will highlight this is MIDITest.
