Default Re: Need a new Midi interface for HD - Recommendations pleas

The digidesign MIDI i/o is what i use and it's been a great relationship, but if it's no longer available and if you care about MIDI timing, you only have one choice: MOTU. As far as i know, the MOTU interfaces are the only ones that support the type of MIDI time-stamping that Pro Tools uses. Even the little USB FastLane does, though it has a smaller note buffer in it. If you are pushing a lot of data, the bigger interfaces with a bigger note buffer will likely be more accurate. The cool thing is that the USB version of the MIDI Timepiece AV has been around since about 1989, so there are tons of cheap used ones out there, and (with a firmware upgrade in some cases) are the bee's knees.
