The interface supports ASIO drivers. As long as your PC has a Type II or III PC card slot, the MidiLink is ready to roll. We were only able to view a Surface One prototype under display glass, but it looked very slick. Intended applications include a virtual mixer for software, a light board controller, a synth programmer, and so on. Presets and templates are available for a variety of software apps.
Boxes are interchangable.
We reviewed the 2U SeaSound Solo in our March 2000 issue, but those in need of a slimmer altnerative should check out the 24-bit SeaSound Soloist. The unit connects to your computer via a supplied PCI card. Steinberg's Cubasis VST and Sonic Foundry's Acid Rock are included. They might have the most unpronounceable name in the biz, but Sek'd isn't letting that slow them down. Up to four cards can be combined in a PC for 32-channel performance.
