EMAGIC UNITOR8 CROSS-PLATFORM MIDI INTERFACE
As well as providing eight independent sets of MIDI connections, the Unitor8 features comprehensive synchronisation facilities and even supports video timecode. PAUL WHITE explores the Ins and Outs of it.

The Unitor8 is a multi-port MIDI interface designed for use with either Macintosh or PC computers and combining an 8-In, 8-Out format with MIDI merging and patching capabilities, plus SMPTE reading and generation (both the usual LTC Linear Time Code and VITC Vertical Interval Time Code). There's also a Click input that allows the user to input tempo information or send MIDI messages using a footswitch. Multiple Unitor8s may be connected to a single port when more Ins and Outs are needed, and Mac users can connect up to eight units via the modem socket at any one time, and eight more via the printer socket if required. PC users are currently less fortunate, as Windows 95 can only address up to 11 MIDI ports, but a fix is promised for this bug in Windows 98. Windows NT support is also expected later in the year.
