My JL Cooper MSB+ Rev 2 is down for the count.
I'm not sure it's worth fixing if there's a more powerful
reasonably priced 8x8 replacement.=20

Features I need are to merge at least two midi outs
into one and ideally three into one input. Split Cubase out to=20
7 destinations.=20

Choices I've found:
=20
Midi Sport (most expensive)
http://www.musicmall.com/cmp/midiman.htm#MIDI%20Sport%208x8

Midex 8
http://www.steinberg.de/ProductPage_sbf194.html?Product_ID=3 D2022

Sierra
http://www.adkproaudio.com/viewitem.cfm?id=3D1562

Midex looks like it will interface the best with Cubase SX and that's my
Midi package of late.

Any reason to try the others?

Thanks for your input.
Tom

We have the Midex8 here... seems to work fine. Round trip latency
with NU3 is 4mSec.

David,
Does it operate and program manually or is always
software/driver based?

Motu's Midi Express XT(USB) or serial.. Very tight timing. Also,if can find

Hi Tom,

No, it appears to be a dedicated computer interface with no
stand-alone capabilities.
