Great device

Timppa2000 05.02.2021

Ports can be used as input or output. There are three modes for standalone use: thru (one port to 7 ports), merge (7 ports to one port) and 1->3, 2->4, 5->7, 6->8 routing. It'd be great if there was used definable extra mode for standalone use. Excellent value for money. Build quality is fantastic, it's a solid box.
It's bus powered but when it's not connected to the power brick, it will not provide power to the USB hub ports, at least not enough to power a Novation Launchkey.
USB hub in the back doesn't function as a midi host (it doesn't claim to be one, just adding this information to be clear if someone wonders.)

Nice overall, too bad the standalone doesn't have more features.

JakubH 25.06.2021

The build quality seems excelent, also it looks good.
It has a lot of ports so I am quite happy there.

I will be using the standalone feature most of the time.
It has 3 modes that you can cycle through with the button.
1/7 mode makes sense (1 IN to 7 OUTs).
7/1 mode is also fine (7 INs to 1 OUT).

But what the hell is "pass-through"?
4 INs to 4 OUTs? Well, not quite :-(
The manual says it will route 1 to 3, 2 to 4, 5 to 7 and 6 to 8.
How is this different to just plugging the cable directly where you want it.

Or is this like a MIDI patchbay feature? Except that ports 1-4 are on the front of the unit so you'll have 2 IN and 2 OUT on each side.
I thought that this would be like a hybrid between 1/7 and 7/1. Not exacly sure if that would be somehow hard to implement or whatever, but having a patchbay feature seems useless to me.

I mainly wanted a MIDI merge device so this will be fine I guess.

UPDATE: I ended up returning the unit and bought a Blokas MIDIHub instead and it's all I ever wanted and more ❤ (google it - it's awesome).

Works best without(!) the ESI Windows-driver

RobSt 14.11.2022

Beware: if you use the ESI driver under Windows 10, it won't send MIDI program changes via Ableton. Deinstalling the driver and letting Windows install it 'natively' (thus via plug and play), solves this problem.

Now that this is solved, thanks to ESI's help via email, I've updated my review (again). All good!

Some good ideas, but some annoying flaws

ASBM 19.11.2021

This is an interesting device which provides more functionality than most midi interfaces. But there are a few flaws which stop it from achieving what it is trying to be.

PRO:

- Very well built.
- Great price, although I would have preferred it to be a little bit more expensive if it meant it could have included what I note below.
- The function that each port can be an input or an output makes it really flexible in most setups. This should be implemented in all midi interfaces.

CON:

- The USB ports at the back can only be used when the device is plugged into a computer - and then only as a standard USB hub. There is no option to route MIDI between the DIN ports and the USB ports internally. This is a missed opportunity.
- The three options in standalone mode are fine if they cover what you need, but it would be better if there was an internal MIDI routing and filtering system. Then the user could decide themselves how the device is used. Again, missed opportunity.
- The lack of a power button is annoying. You need to unplug the device for the LEDs to switch off.

So overall, some good ideas, but it feels this device could have been a lot more. After trying to fit it in my setup for a few weeks, I have decided to sell mine and buy an iConnectivity mioXM instead.
