i was just wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to build a diy midi interface similar to something like Emagic’s Unitor 8?

Hi,

yes it’s possible…

I’ve build a 8x Interface some time ago. Just take 4x the USB Module and connect it to a USB Hub. Voila … you have 8 Ins and 8 Outs.

I’ve put all modules and the USB Hub in a 19" Case 1HE.

It’s surely not a cheap way and you should look if a ready unit isn’t cheaper. But you asked if it’s possible …

" Just take 4x the USB Module and connect it to a USB Hub"

could you explain to me what PCB’s i would need to make this?

thanks for your help

Hi,

This means building 4 MB_USB modules and using commercial USB Hub hardware to connect those to the computers USB port.

But, as doc said It’s not the cheaper way than buying a multiport midi interface and MB_USB module isn’t exactly for the beginners, as Cypress USB chip is surface mounted component..
