It features a 'designer' 1U desktop case with optional brushed‑aluminium end cheeks for rackmounting. The USB buss normally provides the power as well, although you can use an external power supply if you wish (see the Power And USB box). The Midex 8 has eight MIDI Ins and eight MIDI Outs, supporting a total of 128 independent MIDI channels, and connects to your computer via a high‑speed 12Mbit/second USB connector (unlike the AMT8, there is no serial‑port option). Data can be sent from multiple ports simultaneously, which is a big improvement over a standard serial or parallel‑port MIDI interface where the more ports there are, the more the delays can accumulate. Steinberg's Midex 8, like Emagic's existing AMT8 and Unitor 8, is designed to provide much tighter MIDI timing than traditional Mac/PC MIDI interfaces, at least within their own sequencer, by using an 'intelligent' buffering system to clock data out (see the How LTB Works box). Martin Walker checks out an interface from Steinberg which should solve this problem - at least for users of their sequencing software. Musicians using Mac and PC sequencers often complain about loose MIDI timing.
