Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the MIDISPORT™ 8x8/s multi-port MIDI interface
for USB equipped PC and Macintosh computers. The MIDISPORT’s high speed
Universal Serial Bus connection to the computer assures reliable and speedy
transfer of MIDI data.  The MIDISPORT 8x8/s can also be connected to the serial
port of PCs and “legacy” Macintosh computers.
The MIDISPORT performs SMPTE read/write functions using either the front
panel control switches or the included remote control software, which will also
control patchbay settings for your new MIDISPORT 8x8/s.
Follow the installation instructions in this manual and you will be up and
running in no time. The MIDISPORT installs externally to your computer,
requiring no computer disassembly. Expansion is easy too — just plug in
additional MIDISPORT units for more MIDI ports (USB only).
