What's better Midi I/O or anonymous USB Midi I/O

[JFK StudioDude]

Hi all,

I am trying to get my HD3 Accel rig up to par midiwise and I was wondering what everyone's thought are about buying the Digi design Midi I/O or just using an anonymous USB Midi I/O.

Also I will be adding Logic 7 into the mix (their software instruments are amazing.) So taking all of that into account what do you guys think?

Thanks in advance for any assistance and advice you can provide.

Cheers,

Jared

There's not much to say really,I've had a midisport8x8 prior to the Midi I/O, the midisport broke due to abusive touring, it was ok otherwise, the Midi I/O does the job altough I had some probs installing it, and it's way too expensive like every other digi product is anyway, it's up to the buyer's choice
I guess that if you're sharp on budget, go for another interface, it'll work just fine

I was looking at the MOTU 8 x port MIDI box.

Seems like great value for money.

I find the MIDI ports on the Digi 001 work fine too.

I use those along side a MIDIsport 2x2 box plugged into the Mac VIA USB.

They both show up in the MIDI set up as two different interfaces.
