The ESI M4U eX is an 8-port USB 3.1 Gen 1 MIDI interface, designed to cater to the needs of composers, producers, beatmakers, and synth enthusiasts. This versatile device incorporates a built-in USB hub for seamless connectivity and offers automatic port configuration, ensuring flexibility in routing MIDI signals.

Perfect for linking a wide array of musical equipment, including keyboards, drum machines, and synth modules, the M4U eX can be used both with and without a computer. It provides support for standalone operation and USB-to-host connectivity. With its eight MIDI 5-pin ports, each port is intelligently assigned as an input or output based on the detected signal. Additionally, per-port red and green LEDs simplify the process of monitoring input and output status.

Located on the rear panel, an integrated 3-port USB hub adds convenience by allowing you to connect other USB peripherals like keyboards, mice, and authorization dongles. The M4U eX boasts class compliance with both macOS and Windows computers and connects to your host via USB 3.1 Gen 1. It can draw power either from USB (excluding the USB hub) or from a 5 VDC power supply, which includes the USB hub power. To get you started, the M4U eX package includes a USB cable and a power supply.

Here are some key features summarized:

  • 100% class compliant, no need for driver installation
  • Compact MIDI interface with eight MIDI ports (four on the front and four on the rear)
  • Automatic signal detection dynamically configures each MIDI port as an input or output
