Published on 06/16/12 at 16:20What characteristics have motivated your choice? : I thought I could change the preset with the "program change" sent from a pedal noon: it is written in the user manual and I was certified by the importer after direct contact MOTU. But do not buy for why this is wrong!
Otherwise the number of inputs and outputs (8), the fact that I tried an older interface (on which one could recall the preset by noon) but broke down.
What instruments or systems you use it? ... : On stage with a pedal Roland FC300 and 5 or 6 machines controllable by midi (KAOSS, Micro Sampler, GR33 ...)
UTILIZATION
The drivers are stable? The new software works better than the old one: Beware (1) must not try to save a preset on the computer before making any changes in the configuration presets if it crashes! Warning (2): do not put emphasis where no other signs "English" in the name of the preset otherwise it is impossible to save. (There will be no error message)
OVERALL OPINION
How long you use it? Since 9 Months. This is the time it took me to get the answer from MOTU concerning the recall of preset by noon: it is a mistake of the manual there are sorry but it does not work and no, this feature will not implanted by "update". But they think of next to a camera!
What is so special that you like best?
Ben, I believe that there is not much interface with these characteristics in the market (input output).
What is so special that you like least? The fact that I have done despite numerous efforts to make sure that the callback function preset by midday worked!
With experience, you do again this choice? ... : Well I think you understand ... blah, blah ... the recall of preset by noon ... blabla: absolutely not!
Basically on stage, you need the bike near home, or going gently change the preset "by hand": ridiculous for a specialized device in the treatment of noon!
