Introduction

Thank you for choosing the ESI M8U eX.

M8U eX is a convenient and powerful 16-port USB 3.0 MIDI interface with automatic input and output detection,

Front Panel

From left to right, the front panel features 16 LEDs that each can be either green (indicating that the corresponding

port is currently working as an input) or red (which means that the corresponding port works as an output). Next

to it are the MIDI ports number 1 to 8. On the right you can find the MODE button to select a standalone mode

(described below). Above that is the STATUS LED: it is red when the unit is used as a standalone device (with

power supply connected) and green when it is connected to a computer via USB.

Rear Panel

The rear panel features MIDI ports number 9 to 16, next to the USB HOST connector which is used to connect

M8U eX to a computer. Right of it are the 3 USB 3.0 PORTS that allow you to connect and use any other USB

device with your computer (i.e. USB keyboard, USB memory, USB dongle, etc.) and a DC 5V connector to

connect M8U eX to the included power supply. To the very right there is a standard laptop lock connector that

you could use to prevent the unit from being stolen.

Installation

Find the USB port on your computer. Make sure your computer is switched on. Connect the supplied USB cable

between the connector on the back of M8U eX and the USB port on your computer. No driver installation is

needed. If your computer has both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, you will achieve better performance when using

a USB 3.0 port. In most cases these are in blue color – check the manual of your computer for more details.

Also connect the included 5V DC power supply to M8U eX. The device will work as a MIDI interface only (with

the USB hub disabled), if you do not use this power supply. However, when you use the USB hub, it is important

to use the power supply as well to ensure that your other USB devices get enough power.

Usage in Applications

The MIDI ports of M8U eX automatically appear in your MIDI compatible software. Each port is displayed with

a device name with a number, starting from 1 and ending with 16. When you want to use a specific port as an

output, you need to select the device with the corresponding number and send data through it. You will then see

that the corresponding LED on the M8U eX front panel will be red. Make sure this port is connected to the MIDI

input of the device (i.e. sound module, synthesizer, etc.) you want to send the data to.

To use a port as an input, connect it to the MIDI output of a device (i.e. keyboard, etc.) and after receiving data,

you will see that the corresponding LED on the M8U eX front panel will turn green. The data of this device will

be sent through the MIDI device with the corresponding number in your application software. Please note that

many MIDI compatible software open all MIDI inputs simultaneously by default – more details can be found in

the documentation of the application.

Standalone Operation

M8U eX can also be used in standalone mode to route MIDI signals from inputs to outputs when it is not

connected by USB to a computer, but is used with the 5V DC power supply. This means that the USB 3.0 hub is

disabled when you use it as a standalone device. You can step through the modes that are described below by

pushing the MODE button on the front panel.

Pass-through (mode 1)

When the unit is in pass-through mode, you will see that always groups of two ports become an input (as indicated

by those LEDs being green), with the next two being an output (as indicated by those LEDs being red). Signals

will be routed from input 1 to output 3, input 2 to output 4, input 5 to output 7, input 6 to output 8, input 9 to

output 11, input 10 to output 12, input 13 to output 15 and input 14 to output 16. Based on your setup, this allows

you for instance to keep M8U eX connected between your MIDI devices and use your master keyboard to send

signals to your sound generators, even when the computer is turned off.

MIDI thru (mode 2)

When the unit is in MIDI thru mode, port number 1 becomes an input (as indicated by the LED number 1 being

green) and all other ports 2 to 16 are an output (as indicated by those LEDs being red). What happens now is that

any signal that goes in through port number 1 gets distributed and sent out identically through each other MIDI

port number 2 to 16. You can now distribute a single MIDI signal to up to 15 different devices.

MIDI merge (Mode 3)

When the unit is in MIDI merge mode, port number 16 becomes an output (as indicated by the LED number 16

being red) and all other ports 1 to 15 are an input (as indicated by those LEDs being green). What happens now

is that all MIDI signals that are going into any of the MIDI ports number 1 to 15, will be merged together and

sent out simultaneously through the output port 16. You can merge the signals from up to 15 MIDI devices and

send them to one single target this way. Note that SysEx data will only be transferred when it arrives through

input number 1 (which means that there is a priority) as merging other signals while a SysEx data stream is being
