Re: Serial Vs. USB
This isn't a direct answer to your question, but you might want to take a look at Stephen St. Croix's article on MIDI in the latest issue of Mix.
Evidently, USB 1.0's bandwidth is fairly limited. It's possible that we might be seeing Firewire MIDI interfaces in the not so distant future. There will probably be some major MIDI changes when OS X finally takes hold. At the moment, it's best to buy the interface designed for your application (Emagic, MOTU and Steinberg all have proprietary systems in addition to OMS). Lee Blaske |

Re: Serial Vs. USB
Usb if they are optimized are very fast. midi is a very litte amount of info. Th usb is a perfect stable solution to MIDI. I have motu XT, it has never locked up, and is always on time.
I always see posts about bad timing with cerial you decide mlan is far off
