MOTU have also released USB versions of their MIDI TImepiece, MIDI Express and MicroExpress MIDI interfaces, which replace the parallel port with a USB port, and at the same price as the parallel-port versions used for PCs, which will continue to be sold until demand falls. The FastLane USB is a 2-port, 32-channel MIDI interface that comes in the five iMac colours, as well as black. Taking its power from the USB cable, the FastLane USB is compatible with OMS and FreeMIDI.

FastLane - 1x3 MIDI interface with MIDI Thru ($59 Mac)

The professional MIDI interface for your home studio: FastLane is a simple 1 input, 3 output Macintosh MIDI interface. It installs in seconds and opens your Mac to a world of music software. Compatible with virtually all Mac MIDI software. FastLane's unique advantage: a MIDI thru button allows you to play to your gear even when your computer is turned off-without having to disconnect cables. No other 1x3 Mac interface offers this feature.

The FastLane also has a printer thru switch which allows you to connect to your printer without switching cables or forcing you to buy a port switcher.

In & out status lights provide quick visual confirmation of MIDI transmission.

FastLane's 'MIDI split' feature can split an incoming signal to two outputs.

No power supply or batteries required!

Includes serial cable.
