i2M musicport™
Universal MIDI Converter & Hi-Z USB Audio Interface
|
|
|
|
The
i2M musicport™ is the new way to connect your musical instruments to
your computer. It combines a high-impedance audio interface that won’t
suck the tone from your instrument, with very fast, low-latency,
monophonic MIDI conversion that doesn’t require special pickups to be
mounted onto your instrument.
Designed
particularly for guitar and bass, it works with most musical
instruments including the human voice. Now you can record great-sounding
tracks and play synthesizers and samplers how you have always wanted
to: by using your favorite instrument.
Using
class-compliant USB drivers built into your computer’s operating
system, and with no special instrument set up required, the i2M
musicport™ offers a true plug-and-play experience for all musicians.

Ultra-Fast Monophonic MIDI Conversion
Although
latency is unavoidable when converting musical pitch into MIDI
messages, the unique technology used in the i2M musicport™ reduces this
to a minimum. Not only is the MIDI conversion extremely fast, but
accurate and robust. In fact, the pitch-bend detection of the i2M
musicport™ is more accurate than many popular guitar tuners! Fine
nuances of your playing are captured by the i2M musicport™: note
velocity is determined from how hard you play; and subtle vibrato and
bends are converted to ultra-accurate pitch-bend messages with virtually
no latency. Everything from the emotional subtlety of a ‘cello solo to
the most extreme use of a guitar’s whammy bar are tracked flawlessly.

The
Sonuus i2M musicport converts guitars and other musical instruments to
MIDI with very low latency. Being a standard USB MIDI device, it works
with the iPad using the iPad camera connection kit.

Hi-Z USB Audio Interface
The
i2M musicport™ features a very high-impedance (Hi-Z) audio input
circuit. This means it won’t degrade the tone of your musical
instruments, unlike typical “line” inputs — often a problem with
electric guitars and dynamic microphones. The input pre-amp also has
adjustable gain to accommodate a wide variety of musical instruments.
High quality 16-bit, 44·1kHz (CD quality), and 48kHz (DVD quality)
digital audio can be recorded into your favorite audio application, or
used live, for example through amp-simulators with great-sounding
results.

Pocket-Sized / Gigantic Possibilities
Fashioned
as an in-line ¼" jack-to-USB adapter, and about the size of a car
key-fob, the i2M musicport™ has an ultra-compact design that can easily
fit into your pocket. But this tiny box will redefine your musical
possibilities. An invaluable composition tool, the i2M musicport™ will
let you access new sounds with ease, enable you to create TAB and
scores, provide you with new inspiration and let you have more fun than
you thought possible.
Go on: Unlock your music!

Desktop Editor Software
The
i2M musicport™ features a very flexible and powerful MIDI converter
architecture with 6 zones enabling MIDI to be sent on up to 6 MIDI
channels simultaneously, with each zone being independently
configurable.
You
can customize each of the operating modes for your particular
requirements and exchange these settings with other i2M musicport™
users. Four presets can be stored on the i2M musicport™ so you can
switch between these without requiring the Desktop Editor Software.
This software is available for Microsoft Windows, and OSX (10·5 and above).

Note:
The i2M musicport™ doesn't include its own MIDI sounds, you must use
additional software (not supplied) on your computer to record or to hear
the MIDI output.
