9 Seems very good at what it does so far. It's a good piece, if you are using a Software Sequencing package, it is probably very good, but if you want to use it as a patchbay and interface at the same time, you don't want this. Extremely easy to use and problem free. Plu I use an Athlon 800 CPU on a VIA chipset which is not known for its compatibility with USB peripherals. Still using the old drivers that came with the unit.
Timing is rock solid.
Well it has a lifetime warranty from Midiman. Emailed them about USB compatibility and they got back to me in a few hours. This is THE USB MIDI interface to get. Plus Midiman don't make propriety software sequencer, so ther is no problems with all the sequencers out there. I Need to Get Control.
