Other I / O
• 1 x USB 1.1 compliant USB port
• 1 x pair of MIDI I / O
UTILIZATION
Stable. Sources used Cubase 5, FL9 and Live. RAS
GETTING STARTED
We download the drivers on the Focusrite website, it installs, it opens and configures its favorite sequencer and it works. No surprises. You can focus on the zic.
OVERALL OPINION
Solid appearance, metal box, knobs very good!
Can't compare with the cheap line 6 (this is an example ^ ^).
We connect it, it works, is stable and the sound is fine.
So, we forget about it and we can concentrate on the essentials, the music!
Excellent value for money (hence the high notes).
The -: it is neither coffee nor toast.
Between a Line 6 and an Edirol UA25 (I had the 2) I did not hesitate a second.
It even has the right to plugin Novation Bass Station
