Product Reviews for Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) Micro Lite 5x5 Bus Powered MIDI Interface
Feature: 5 ins 5 outs no power supply needed--what more could you want? well, a bypass button would have been cool but otherwise nice little black box. the lighted activity indicators on the front are sweet, very helpfull for the inevitable midi "where's the sound? oh yeah, wrong output stupid" things that you run into to. No SMPTE or internal routing options (Clockworks) but i don't need them.
Quality: solid, nice looking.
Value: same or less than 4x4s and there is no comparing the design & construction of this and the other junk out there.
Desirability: finally an affordable interface with 5 inputs and outputs! AND the box is soo nice looking and it has that heavily textured finish on the metal. i was nervous about USB but with XP it seems very stable.
Support: i've used MOTU e-mail support on two occassions for other things and they are very helpfull but it does take time for the answer.
Overall: satisfied until Windows freezes over. i would definately replace it if stolen, i am considering buying more midi gear so that i can buy another one so that i could use the included hardware to bolt them together and rack mount them. most important for something like this, although it's nice looking, you can just forget that it's there because it's just a sweet little black box that's doing it's job--the perfect match for my m-audio delta 44, no real bells or whistles just does what it should for very little $.
