Quick Installation on OS 10.4. It connects devices in CoreAudio, we can do merge, the splits, filters through Clockworks. It has some presets available configuration, plus 8 personal memories. It's enough for me.
Operates in standalone, with different configurations of call on the front. Manages the SMPTE, and has the Motu MTS system offering the lowest latency Midi market (according Motu).

UTILIZATION

It is stable, update (intel mac driver already available).
I use it with Logic Express.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months. I wonder how I managed to do without it all these years! This is a flexibility.
The design is consistent with the rest of the range Motu (828mk2, ultralite, 896HD ...). It is sturdy and comfortable.
Is positioned in the same price range as an Edirol and M-Audio, a little more expensive, certainly, but I prefer the reputation of Motu.
