For instance, you can use up to 16 outputs at a time or up to 16 inputs, or 12 outputs and 4 input. This is all handled automatically, simply based on your connection to other MIDI inputs or MIDI outputs and each automatic input/output configuration is displayed via colored LEDs on the front panel. M8U eX is not only one of the worlds first USB 3.0 MIDI interfaces, it also includes a USB 3.0 hub with 3 connectors for other USB equipment. The class compliant device can be bus powered or if needed for other USB devices, be powered by the included DC power supply.
