my AMT-8 is still soldiering along fine here... somewhere along the line it lost patch mode, but i think that's because newer operating systems always make MIDI interfaces think there is a client active. there is even a 3rd party configurator for patches now, but usually i just run the MIDI Patchbay application for anything that i need without the DAW up. anyway my 2c On Mon, Dec 3, 2018 at 11:52 AM Boniforti Flavio <xxxxxxxxx.x@xxxxx.xxx> wr= ote: > > MOTU MIDI Express 128 or the bigger brother "XT" version... > I moved away from MIDI Express 128 only because I am not using USB-MIDI a= nd don't want the computer always on for MIDI routing... > F. > https://soundcloud.com/bonnyfused > > > Am Mo., 3.
