There's been several group buys over at the MidiBox.org site, but it looks like the current one (the 3rd) is pretty much closed as there aren't any more GM5's available from that source. It comes out pretty cheap for a very good 5x5 interface, but unless you have experience with electronics I don't recommend it. The only hard part for me was soldering the damn chip in place; it's so tiny, I ended up gluing it to the PC board so it would stop moving to allow me to solder it. And soldering these chips is a bit challenging: I ended up using the 'flood and suck' method I've built two of these and they work perfectly and are natively recognized on both Mac OS X and Win7-64.
But ploytec provides a good driver for windows which runs even better. Obviously I'm using these on W7. For less than 30 euro in parts each it was a good deal.

Are there other midi apps that people use frequently along with Cubase? -Tom Speaking for myself, I run at the same time with Cubase mainly extrernal hardware editors/librarians: Roland Fantom X editor/librarian, Sound Diver (adaptation for the Roland VK8-M), DSI MoPho editor/librarian, etc.
I'm sure others would have plenty more examples. Paolo Got it. Come to think of it, I sometimes run an XV editor (for my XV-3080s) at the same time as Cubase. Guess the little Roland um-3g boxes arent the answer then.
I have two midex8s that just work well. Maybe I'll hold off on the 64 bit upgrade for a while more.
UAD card aint there yet either. I strongly suspect you should find the correct registry keys for YOUR system. Anyway, what I did: I analyzed the winXP registry of an XP installation on a different partition on the same PC of the Win7 32 bit installation, looking for the relevant registry keys for the amt8 (use Regedit to search 'emagic', 'unitor', 'amt8', and when you find one, hit F3 to find all the next recurrences on the the whole registry) and then I applied the same registry Keys in Win 7 (that needed a little tweaking actually: e.g.
I remember a particular key that needed some sort of administrator privileges to be edited, but I don't remember which one; I remember I searched on Google how to edit that particular key, and found the solution). For the same purpose, I also analyzed the UNI2k227.inf file: the old 2.27 WinXP driver doesn't have a setup file, you just have the driver files (.sys,.dll) and an.inf (text) file containing the instructions for the OS to install the driver. So, I've analyzed the.inf file and compared it to the Win XP System registry. Then, I copied the driver files to the Win7 system32 drivers folder. The driver files are UNIS2K.dll and UNIS2K.sys (valid only for the serial connection, that I use; for USB connection, the files are different, but I don't remember their names). A complicated job indeed, if you are unaware of the risks implied in tweaking the Windows registry, you'd better give it up.or at least do a complete backup of your system before you start.

Monitors: Genelec 8030. Hello Paulo, I'd like to ask you few questions on driver installation. Being far away from home I decided to test installation you described for AMT8. I managed to follow all steps. Both registry keys have been successfully added.
It was a bit tricky for root Media key, it didn't let me change owner rights even under administrator account but I used third party tool to make it happen. Finally after reboot new driver appeared in Sound, video, game controllers - emagic AMT8. But no any MIDI in/out ports are visible from sequencer. Sure, I don't have AMT8 with me. Is it the root cause?
I meant if AMT8 is disconnected or powered off, should I still see Midi ports in the list? And another question. I've never used AMT8 serial connection and don't have cable from the box. I've just read that normal null-modem cable needs to be reworked: is it true? Hope, to get answer from you. Thank you in advance.
Hello, Sorry for reviving this thread. Read this thread and my 8x8 predicament is as bad as everyone elses here. The level of the responses I noticed was high and so I will offer my story and hope someone reads it and can help.
My Midisport 8x8/s USB just died. In Cubase and other DAW's I can see all eight midi ports though I use only seven and all are Midi channel 1, so I distinguish them by port number.
And yes there is a driver for Windows 7 64 bit. TSI informed me that to send in the Midisport and they may be able to repair it. It’s a gamble. In my closet I found a dusty Roland A-880 which is 8x8.
This is a 8 in and 8 out midi patcher/mixer without USB. Yes, truly a miracle!? Eight midi in and eight midi out. I can map all my eight midi in to go to a single midi out. I need 7 midi controllers to go down a single USB connector which I plug into my computer. My question: If I get a 'midi to USB device' or a 'midi pci card' will the single midi out plugged in to the adaptor be able to handle the midi stream? Will I be able to see the all eight ports in Cubase?
It will be another miracle if I can get the one midi out into a usb. For everyone who wants to use Unitor8 (Serial connection) with Windows7 32bit, the Registry-files of Paolo have to be modified. Similar to Paolo I checked the registry settings on WindowsXP and changed all Unitor8-relating values in Paolos.reg-files and it works great with my oldschool digi9652 and Cubase6.5 on Windows7 32bit. If you like to install the driver for Unitor8 serial, use Paolos tutorial in combination with the following modified.reg-files.for sure I don't guarantee for nothing, you can do it at your own risk Attachments Download modified.reg-files (2.38 KiB) Downloaded 168 times.
