MOTU Midi Express/Express XT USB
« on: June 06, 2018, 11:50:49 AM »

Does this old thing hiding in my rack work on OS9?
It's the original version...
something was up with requiring buying factory ROM
upgrade for using with Windows XP+
at my best recollection
went round and round with it before putting it in "moth ball" status
should have the original install CD around here somewhere
saw it "recently"
figuring can potentially use it on g3 slot Imac

yes works great
synced to PT5 it will slay most modern usb midi devices for bandwidth and speed

*beware of multiple clock (MTC) sources clogging the lanes with traffic it will not filter MTC in OS9
