So if you're looking for this to be your MIDI interface, the main issue is to be sure it's the MOTU MIDI Timepiece AV (with USB connectivity) and if so and at a good price, go for it. The last aspect of the Timepiece that's nice is that it can operate as a MIDI Interface all on its own and not connected to a computer (many require to be connected to a computer). So while buying an old Serial-port MOTU MIDI Timepiece can be a very cost effective way of extending and existing MOTU MIDI setup with a USB MIDI Timepiece AV - it's only an option if you indeed own a USB MIDI Timepiece USB, and can then find the correct network cable too. The problem I'm having when recording is the data to PT is not recording correctly and when I look at the inputs for my midi chanel it reads ( no chanels activated ). I've looked everywhere, and even bought what I thought were the correct cables from a supplier of Appletalk cables on ebay - but they didn't fit (wrong pin configuration), and the supplier had no alternatives for me. Re: motu midi timepiece I'm using a midi keyboard to record with and play back with samplitude and BFD.

MOTU MIDI TIMEPIECE SERIAL

I actually use two MIDI Timepieces with USB - and recently bought two older Timepieces with serial ports 2nd hand for almost nothing thinking I'd connect them to my more modern Timepieces - but for love nor money I cannot find the correct Appletalk network cables.

The down side is - the network cable you need to use is a 1980's / early 90's style Appletalk network cable - and they are near impossible to find these days. Even nicer is that your DAW will just see a single 16 Port Interface rather than 2 8-Port interfaces (far better in LPX for example where you then don't have to create an Aggregate MIDI device). Firstly, this Network port facility is very nice because what it means is - if you have a USB MIDI TImepiece connected to your computer already, and this, 2nd MIDI Timepiece happens to be an older "Serial port" one - then you can still use it with a modern computer because you can connect it via it's network port to the more modern USB based MIDI Timepiece network port - and voila - you have two interfaces connected to your computer. There are a few pros and cons to note here.

MOTU MIDI TIMEPIECE DRIVERS

Two very nice aspects to the MOTO MIDI Timepiece are:ġ) (For the USB model) - they are USB Class Compliance - meaning that if it is a USB one you buy - even if, say, 15 years old, it will still work with any computer using USB 2 or 3 today - because it is USB "Class Complaint" so the issue of drivers not being available for it on latest Operating Systems doesn't arise, ever, (as it does all too frequently with M-Audio, RME and many other manufacturers) - and it'll work very well along side more modern MOTU MIDI interfacesĢ) The MIDI Time Piece AV's have a "network port" that allows you to link two of them together to become a 16 Port MIDI interface. So you see some of these on the market that were released pre USB era for very cheap prices. Most of that is not needed today because your DAW can cope with all of that so if you buy one now you'll likely only use it as an 8-Port MIDI interface for up to 8 MDI device connectivity to each other (or to a computer).īe careful to check it's age - these have been out for a long time so early ones used old Serial and Parallel Computer Port connectivity to a computer (and not USB). It was a Swiss-Army-Knife for different synchronisation protocols and standards.

MOTU MIDI TIMEPIECE UPDATE

Ich werde meinen Bericht ergänzen, falls es je dazu kommen sollte, daß das Gerät nach einem update wirklich funktioniert.It was a lot more desirable in the past because it can handle all kinds of timing codes (SMPTE and the like) - so in the 90's when it was in its hay-day it could syncoronise MIDI synthesizers, early DAWs with primarily MIDI recording, ADAT Digital Tape machines and so on to Video Tape Recorders transmitting Time-code of any one of a number of protocols. Seit einem kostenpflichtigen! Telefongespräch mit dem Support, denke ich, daß ältere Versionen vielleicht sogar einmal funktioniert haben!? Auf die Frage ob ich mein Gerät downgraden kann, oder in der großen Not mit einem Gerät mit funktionierender Firmware eintauschen, kam schlicht keine Antwort mehr! Praktisch wird nun eines der teuersten Midiinterfaces nutzlos bei mir rumliegen bis Motu seine Hausaufgaben gemacht hat und das Gerät mit den Funktionen auffahren kann mit denen es beworben wird.

MOTU MIDI TIMEPIECE SOFTWARE

Bei der aktuellen Software scheint sogar die Hardware Signale zu empfangen, was gerade mal genug Hoffnung macht, um weitere Tage mit rumprobieren zu verbringen. (mac + pc!)ĭie entsprechende popup- Leiste ist schlicht nicht da! Bei älteren softwares taucht das Einstellfenster auf, funktioniert aber nicht.

Nach "Click to Midi" sucht man in der aktuellen Software vergeblich.

Genau so wird es in der Produktpräsentation versprochen! Das war für mich der Hauptgrund warum ich mich für das anspruchsvolle MOTU Midi Express XT entschied. "Audio Click Input - konvertiert einen Audio Click in MIDI Daten".
