Sonuus i2M Musicport MIDI Interface

Continuing from the appeal of the G2M and B2M, the i2M musicport combines the features of both these units (to support both guitar and bass) with an optimized USB interface for even faster MIDI performance. Featuring extended MIDI features and configurability to satisfy the most demanding users, and a high-impedance audio interface that won’t suck the tone from instrument, the i2M musicport is the new way to connect musical instruments to computer.Designed particularly for guitar and bass, it works with most musical instruments including wind instruments and the human voice. Now can record great-sounding tracks and play synthesizers and samplers how have always wanted to: by using favorite instrument.Plug and PlayUsing class-compliant USB drivers built into computer’s operating system, and with no special instrument set up required, the i2M musicport offers a true plug-and-play experience for all musicians.Ultra-Fast Monophonic MIDI ConversionAlthough latency is unavoidable when converting musical pitch into MIDI messages, the unique technology used in the i2M musicport reduces this to a minimum. Not only is the MIDI conversion extremely fast, but accurate and robust. In fact, the pitch-bend detection of the i2M musicport is more accurate than many popular guitar tuners.Fine nuances of playing are captured by the i2M musicport: note velocity is determined from how hard play; and subtle vibrato and bends are converted to ultra-accurate pitch-bend messages with virtually no latency. Everything from the emotional subtlety of a ‘cello solo to the most extreme use of a guitar’s whammy bar are tracked flawlessly. The optimized USB MIDI interface further minimizes latency by intelligently managing data packets and avoiding the inherent delays in the traditional MIDI hardware protocol.Flexible MIDI ArchitectureThe MIDI converter architecture is very flexible and powerful comprising six zones (splits), each with configurable pitch bend, MIDI channel, transpose and other parameters.Hi-Z USB Audio InterfaceThe i2M musicport features a very high-impedance (Hi-Z) audio input circuit. This means it won’t degrade the tone of musical instruments, unlike typical “line” inputs — often a problem with electric guitars and dynamic microphones. The input pre-amp also has adjustable gain to accommodate a wide variety of musical instruments. High quality 16-bit, 44·1 kHz (CD quality), and 48 kHz (DVD quality) digital audio can be recorded into favourite audio application, or used live, for example through amp-simulators with great-sounding results.An ASIO driver (only supported on Windows operating systems) is available to provide low latency audio and features the unique ability to use any other audio device (even other ASIO devices) as the output audio device so can hear everything do in real time.Future-Proof (Upgradeable Firmware)To support new features and to make it futureproof, the firmware (internal software) of the i2M musicport can be upgraded. This means can invest with confidence in the i2M musicport.Pocket-Sized / Gigantic PossibilitiesFashioned as an in-line 1/4 in. jack-to-USB adapter, and about the size of a car key-fob, the i2M musicport has an ultra-compact design that can easily fit into pocket. But this tiny box will redefine musical possibilities. An invaluable composition tool, the i2M musicport™ will let access new sounds with ease, enable to create tab and scores, provide with new inspiration and let have more fun than thought possible
