CME U6MIDI Pro - MIDI Interface with Router, Mapper, and Filter - Plug-and-play USB MIDI for computers - Standalone 3-in-3-out MIDI for Merge, Split, Thru

I always had Creative Labs Sound Blaster cards around that had MIDI connections, and after my last computer upgrade MIDI connections were no longer possible - not to mention laptops are more standard now. Picked this up to connect to my Casio Digital Piano to help with recording. It's super easy to setup - just plug everything together, open the software, and things just work. I use Linux and previously had some issues doing the setup so expected more of a hassle but this was so simple i was recording within minutes of connecting everything up and plugging it into my laptop.

Just got this little router and it is a gem! I attached a screenshot of the UX Midi tools. This device is very versatile and works nicely with macOS. In my case, this is on Sequoia 15.4.1. The universal utility is downloaded from the App Store. I am writing this after having it for only a short time as a counterpoint to folks who had trouble on macOS. - I plugged it in and it was immediately visible on macOS. - The app was downloaded from the App Store and works well. It immediately asked to update the firmware and did so without trouble. - Routing and modifying filtering is simple. - It maps the USB software ports on macOS when running in connected mode. Note: I connected this directly to the Mac and also to a hub, and it worked. Some hubs can be problematic with MIDI.

I have some old stuff, some new stuff, and a desire to have everything run off of one MIDI clock, but not respond to Start/Stop commands for DAWless jamming... I also want one master keyboard to be able to control a variety of devices easily. That master happens to have a horrible MIDI implementation, so I also use the U6 to clean up it's MIDI (convert note on velocity zero to note off), getting rid of issues with a number of downstream devices. All of this was accomplished with a good GUI in their app, and then once configured it will just happily do its' thing. For the price, there is simply nothing else even close in terms of functionality that I've found on the market. Get one, you'll see.

It works well. The box is a little cheap feeling for a sound product. It also can easily be deprogrammed accidentally requiring reprogramming which is not necessarily easy when traveling.

This is just what I needed for my small home studio. The free software you can download from CME for this unit to program it is very easy to use and understand. I love being able to set up presets in order to have my keyboard control one or another of my tone modules, or to have the computer send a midi clock out to everything. The routing can be done in any combination. It's very versatile. I didn't need any special drivers, just plug & play. My DAW recognized it immediately. It took just a few moments to set up and get going. I absolutely love this little unit, and I haven't even explored all its uses yet. I suppose it has its limitations, since there is only 3 in and 3 out, but for my set up it's perfect. Highly recommended.

This thing is great. The interface is intuitive, though moderately complex. There are YouTube videos and a manual on their site to help. It has several features aside from programmable routing, like MIDI filter and Mapper to go with the router though I haven't needed them yet.. No noticable latency from device to device. Only gripe is that it's so small and light, cables can pull it around if it's not fastened somehow. That's a preference so I'm still going to give it 5 stars. I'm actually about to buy a second one because I filled the first up.

Its works well. Easy to setup only After you grasp setup that active map lines dont all show. The software needs to show ALL active connections at once for the midi merge. It only shows one at a time even though it really is all merging all3 into one. Nice to have a midi filter/input for kbds that keep sending out junk bend/mod and other cont data even when you aren't touching the wheels. ALSO biggy here: The markings on the box are WAY too hard to see which port is 1 ,2 , 3 , in or out. I had to put my own labels on them . Just do bolder brighter print. Not the useless dull gold on black!!! And hey now lets make a bigger model; Like 6 or 8 in X 4 out. Same functions

I do not know why companies do this, but if you're buying this because it's USB-C compatible, you better order a USB-C cable as well because it does not come with one. The included cable is USB-A to USB-C, so great if you have a computer that has the old USB on it. Which in that case why are you buying a USB-C compatible device? It makes no sense and I wish they would be more clear that you will NOT get a USB-C-ended cable in the box.

So small, so easy, so useful! Perfect MIDI solution with no drivers nor aditional software required. It's that easy!

Klein, leicht,tadellose Funktion. Mit der frei erhältlichen Software lassen sich Routings oder Filter usw. sehr easy konfigurieren, die dann stand-alone oder im Normalbetrieb aktiv sind. Dadurch ist es viel mehr als "nur" ein MIDI-Interface, sondern auch ein Merger, Mapper, Router etc. Kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen.

Klinkt allemaal mooi...maar compatibiliteit is een gokje. Ik had er iig veel moeite mee. Jammer want 3 ins en outs zijn natuurlijk voor deze prijs mooi. Ook functies in speciale software zijn meestal een red flag. Mijn oude vertrouwde edirol um one weer gepakt. Hassle free. Wel maar één in/out. Dat dan weer wel. Probeer het zelf. Get Lucky.

Produto bastante eficaz, no entanto é muito pequeno, cabe na minha mão e o preço é extremamente elevado para o que faz!

Funciona perfecto en computadoras Apple, sin necesidad de instalar drivers, y es sencillo configurar los distintos modos que tiene para operar, si tuviera el doble de puertos (6 en lugar de 3) sería mucho mejor
