Hamburg, Germany, December 18, 2000 -- Steinberg announces the availability of their new USB MIDI interface, the Midex 8. The Midex 8 will work on USB enabled Windows operating systems 98 SE or higher, with Mac and OMS drivers projected for the near future. Steinberg "LTB" Linear Time Base protocol will function only on VST products or products which support LTB.

Midex 8 is the latest innovation in MIDI interface technology from Steinberg featuring 8 independent MIDI in- and outputs in a slick 1-unit case. Fantastic timing and improved grooves. Steinberg’s new LTB protocol gets your music where it should be – right on time. Everyone knows about the timing precision of hardware sequencers - and Steinberg now brings that level of timing accuracy to modern operating systems with the MIDEX 8. The key to this is Steinberg's unique LTB Linear Time Base communication protocol. LTB defines to sub-millisecond accuracy exactly when a MIDI event should leave the MIDEX 8. The responsibility of the MIDEX 8 unit is to send the events at the right moment, free from any further intervention of the computer's operating system.

Features:
  • 8 separate MIDI in- and outputs, 128 independent MIDI channels
  • Easy plug & play USB interface, no external power supply necessary when used in standard USB mode
  • Additional MIDI Thru feature and MIDI cable checker
  • Supports LTB™ - computer independent - sub-millisecond timing accuracy
  • Numbered MIDI port LEDs for activity monitoring
  • Supplied with USB cable and rack-mounting kit
