MIDI with 896 HD?

Post by marcosdipaolo »

I have a Motu 896 HD and last week i got a keyboard and now I feel the absence of MIDI i/o, what can I buy and how can I use it along with the 896 HD?

You can get a MOTU MIDI USB interface pretty cheap on Ebay. I got my Xpress XT for less than 100$ and it's been serving me well for more than 3 years now.

The interface is plugged USB and the 896HD is plugged FW so they don't ever get confused together...
