Publisher: iConnectivity

Use your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch with your Mac/PC like a plug-in, controller and much more!

iConnect MIDI4+ completely redefines the concept of a MIDI & audio interface, integrating today's professional multiple-computer set-ups with iOS devices and MIDI hardware. Not only does iConnect MIDI4+ support three computer devices simultaneously – Macs, PCs and iOS – its Audio passThru technology routes audio between them digitally with zero signal degradation, simply appearing as an audio interace to the operating systems. This combination of audio and MIDI connections has countless applications. A synth running on your iPad could behave as if it were a touch-controlled plug-in running inside your host DAW, or you could process a software instrument in your DAW through an effects processing app like an amp simulator on your iPhone. If you are feeling adventurous you can even use your Mac or PC as a slave to your iOS device. The iConnect MIDI4+ offers seamless integration in all directions.

Many MIDI devices include a USB port for input/output of MIDI. iConnect MIDI4+ accommodates for this by addition of a USB host port that allows musicians to integrate their USB MIDI devices seamlessly. iConnect MIDI4+'s MIDI host port supports up to 8 USB MIDI synths, controllers, etc. enabling all computing devices that are connected to iConnect MIDI4+ to send and receive MIDI from devices that are connected to its USB host port. iConnect MIDI4+ also has an ethernet port. Users can connect iConnect MIDI4+ to wireless router, ethernet hub/router, or any ethernet enabled device via its dedicated ethernet port and is network discoverable, allowing for musicians to control any of the devices connected to iConnect MIDI4+ via network connection, adding further control and connectivity options.

With all of this connectivity comes possibility and nearly endless options. iConnectivity's iConfig software for iOS, Mac and PC allows the user complete control over iConnect MIDI 4+'s I/O by providing direct control over how MIDI is routed and filtered to and from all devices connected to it. With all of its new technology and innovation iConnect MIDI4+ sets a new benchmark in MIDI connectivity and iOS integration, delivering so much more than just a standard 4x4 or 8x8 MIDI interface even though it is at a similar price point. It introduces new concepts designed to make life easier and opens new doors of creativity by enabling music makers new and exciting types of workflow. All of this and more makes iConnect MIDI4+ an essential tool for today & tomorrow's music makers.
