[NAMM] USAMO: Audio In - MIDI Out

Rédigé par un humain
Expert Sleepers will introduce at NAMM 2015 an audio interface that allows you to ouptut MIDI from an analog audio input.

USAMO (for Universal Sample-Accurate MIDI Output) is not entirely new, users of the Silent Way and ESX-8MD module have experimented it with digital audio signals but it is now available in a standalone unit for analog audio signals.

Well, not quite standalone, for USAMO requires your DAW to convert the audio signal via a dedicated virtual instrument VST, AU and AAX plug-in for Mac OS X and Windows (the USAMO software). The plug-in also generates MIDI clock signal, song position indicators and more.

The DAW sends MIDI to the plug-in, which convert it into audio and sends it to the hardware via your audio interface output. The USAMO device then reconstructs the MIDI data and outputs them via a standard 5-pin MIDI socket. MIDI signals being generated and transported as audio, USAMO allows for sample-accurate sync and jitter-free operation.

The USAMO interface features a 1/4” jack audio input, a MIDI output, a trim and three indicators for power, clip and activity.
