Re: [elektron] which USB MIDI interface ?

2006-01-25 by Chris Mitchell

I used an m-audio midisport duo, and it is rock solid.  I'm pretty  
sure that may stem from its coming from the Midiman days, as I have  
to say I was thoroughly unimpressed with my tenure of owning the  
awful M-Audio Quattro audio interface.

I believe the uno came out originally about the same time, so I  
imagine it should work about as well as the duo.
