The following information was acquired on the Internet: The Express XT is a MIDI interface and SMPTE synchronizer for Macintosh and IBM PC/compatibles running Windows. Based on MOTU's legendary MIDI Timepiece technology, the Express XT provides the level of performance you'd expect in a multi-port interface. And the XT is an incredible value, providing 8 inputs, 8 outputs, 128 MIDI channels ann a host of other features at an amazing price. It's the affordable choice when you don't require the full-bore features of the MIDI Timepiece AV. The MIDI Express XT is ideal for medium-sized MIDI setups and essential tasks such as MIDI sequencing, multimedia production, and sound management with patch/editor librarian software. When sequencing with more than one 1 or two MIDI devices, you want to connect each device directly to the interface so each one gets its own set of 16 MIDI channels. Then you don't have to worry about sx-sex ID's or MIDI channel conflicts in your software. Just select an instrument, choose a sound, and go! If you use editor/librarian software-or get sysex bulk dumps in your sequencer you'll need the MIDI Express XT's multiple ports for bi- directional MIDI connections (both IN and OUT). The Express XT is plug-and-play compatible with all Mac and Windows software and provides easy parallel port connection to any PC, including laptops and notebooks. (No cards!) You can even connect it to a Mac and a PC at the same time! Included are sixteen convenient, one-touch front-panel presets (8 factory/ 8 user). The accompanying software console for both Mac and Windows) provides comprehensive routing, merging, and muting. The Express XT also converts and stripes SMPTE time code (all formats, including both 29.97 drop and non-drop). Adjustable freewheeling provides drop- out free sync. The Express XT supports MIDI Machine Control, which means it can serve as a time code "hub" for all your gear while you control everything from the convenience of your computer software. Press play, stop, rewind or cue in your sequencer. and everything else will follow (via the Express XT.) A pedal input provides support for a standard "momentary" foot switch or for audio click-to-MIDI conversion.
