Overview
IConnectivity designed this interface for the stage: computers feed backing tracks and virtual instruments into it, and it sends them to the front-of-house mix while handling MIDI for the rest of the rig. An onboard OLED touchscreen shows status without a laptop screen.
Touring acts that run tracks get an output-heavy unit made to survive the road, with MIDI connectivity for the whole stage. The page is thin on inputs, MIDI port types and mounting, so check the manual before planning a rig around it.
Who it's for
Musical directors and playback engineers sending stems to a live mixer get the outputs and control they need. Bedroom recordists will find little use for an output-focused box.
Pros and cons
- Many outputs for stem playback
- Touchscreen for quick status checks
- MIDI for controlling stage gear
- Built for touring abuse
- Input count not listed
- MIDI port details not listed
- Lower sample rate cap for studio work
Performance notes
Reliability on stage comes from the dedicated playback design, which sends separate tracks to the mixing desk so the engineer controls each stem. MIDI connectivity lets the same computer trigger lights, patches and other gear. Stability ultimately depends on the host computer and its playback software.
