iConnectMIDI4+

Description

Setting a new benchmark in MIDI connectivity and iOS integration

iConnectMIDI⁴⁺ much like it’s little sibling iConnectMIDI²⁺ in that it sets out to reinvent what it is to be a MIDI interface by introducing new technology and combining pre-existing technologies in an intuitive way.

iConnectMIDI⁴⁺ is not only a 64 port MIDI interface for PC, MAC, and iOS*. It also introduces four exciting new features to enable musicians to professionally integrate more than one computer or an iOS device into their music making environment.

The first of these technologies allows for more than one computing device to access the same MIDI resources. This is useful in many ways such as, sending midi from a controller or synth to daw and an iOS device simultaneously, setting up redundancy in a live MIDI environment, sending MIDI from multiple computing devices to one another, and more.

iConnectMIDI⁴⁺ also features Audio passThru™. This patent pending technology is integral to using iOS, and multiple computing devices (PC, MAC, iOS) in a professional environment by enabling the devices to pass not only MIDI data but also audio data from device to device. There are many practical applications for this technology, for example now musicians can use a daw on their MAC or PC to control a virtual instrument or other music making program on their iOS or other computing device (PC, MAC, iOS) and send the MIDI data as well as audio data back to the DAW without extra cables, or signal degradation or additional analog to digital conversion.

Many MIDI devices include a USB port for input/output of both audio and MIDI. iConnectMIDI⁴⁺ accommodates for this by addition of a USB host port that allows musicians to integrate their USB MIDI devices seamlessly. iConnectMIDI⁴⁺’s MIDI host port supports up to 8* USB MIDI synths, controllers, etc. enabling all computing devices that are connected to iConnectMIDI⁴⁺ to send and receive MIDI and Audio from devices that are connected to its USB host port.

iConnectMIDI⁴⁺ also has an ethernet port. Users can connect iConnectMIDI⁴⁺ to wireless router, ethernet hub/router, or any ethernet enabled device via its dedicated ethernet port and is network discoverable, allowing for musicians to control any of the devices connected to iConnectMIDI⁴⁺ via network connection, adding further control and connectivity options.

WIth all of this connectivity comes possibility and nearly endless options. iConnectivity’s Port Manager software for iOS, MAC and PC allows the user complete control over iConnectMIDI⁴⁺’s I/O by providing direct control over how MIDI is routed and filtered to and from all devices connected to it.

With all of its new technology and innovation iConnectMIDI⁴⁺ sets a new benchmark in MIDI connectivity and iOS integration, delivering so much more than just a standard 4×4 or 8×8 MIDI interface even though it is at a similar price point. It introduces new concepts designed to make life easier and opens new doors of creativity by enabling music makers new and exciting types of workflow. All of this and more makes iConnectMIDI⁴⁺ an essential tool for today & tomorrow’s music makers.
