Stable!

Works amazing and with no issues so far (not like other more known midi interfaces). The routing options via the software are much appreciated!

The only thing that makes the good impression not really perfect are the ports on the front - makes it look a bit messy when the cables are sticking out from the front.

Much worth the money - planning to get a 2nd one for my setup!

Great MIDI interface

This is a really good MIDI interface if you want to deal with a lot of channels, plus having the extra flexibility to change how they are configured. By setting up two presets I have the ability to switch between a computer based setup being the master clock and letting my Hardware only rig be the master - all without having to have the computer switched on. I don't particularly like the software, and the company hasn't got the best after sales support but if you don't need the support and you can manage with Auracle it's a great device.

Infuriating

If I didn't have to use this, I certainly wouldn't. Crash-happy app, hard time reading ports, doesn't even act as a USB hub, which is just stupid when you have the capability to do so with TEN USB ports. Worst piece of gear I've used in a long time. Really hope someone comes out with some competition soon so I can sell off this unfinished scrap heap, but until then we're stuck with it unfortunately.

Solves countless MIDI connectivity issues

Excellent well designed reliable piece of kit. Easy software interface.

So far has effortlessly patched many 5 pin, USB and DAW hosted MIDI gear ports in a way that easily supports modifications on the fly (using the included utility). Clear extensive compatibility list. No pain - no disappointments.

The Best MIDI Interface

Maybe the Best MIDI interface out there. Very versatile, But has a learning curve.

All in all, a great investment for an expanding studio.

Lifesaver

I was looking for a device that would route all my MIDI connections in the studio and I almost bought a vintage 19" rack device (EDIROL UM-880) when I found out about this product. (ofc no warranty for the vintage gear and price was 80% of this unit)

I have already used all the connections (USB, DAW, MIDI) and everything works as expected. The setup is straightforward although you need to use a computer. However you can save routing presets and then use it without a computer which is one of the advantages over other similar products that only work with computer connected. The build quality is perfect, design looks really good and feels like using high-end device. The software is well made, fast, easy to use. For someone the price might be too high, but you really get what you pay for. You can also get one of the smaller versions if you have smaller setup. Overall this product is great and I am perfectly happy with it. I would recommend it to anyone who uses a lot of MIDI devices as this is going to make your life so much easier.

3 times a winner

My studio has a mix of MIDI DIN devices and a few USB class compliant devices: synths, drum machines, effects units.

I now have 3 mioXL devices which enable me to route anything to anything with relative ease. The RTP MIDI solution is a game changer for me as it meant I could get rid of a USB snake cable and manage everything over the network. Being able to use a software editor for a synth (like the Sequential OB6) over USB connection while simultaneously connecting it via DIN MIDI to my sequencer is great. Downsides? The Auracle software used to program the mioXL needs a little consideration when using it and the documentation is non-existent so you'll need member accounts on forums to get guidance when you get stuck. Solid build and no other solution out there that compares with this.

Great hardware, but...

The device itself seems great, but there are several other caveats.

The control software (Auracle) does not scale to a device with this many ports at all, for complicated configurations beware of carpal tunnel syndrome from all the clicking. Also beware that while the previous generation SysEx control commands were thoroughly documented, this new X-series uses a completely different protocol which is NOT documented and queries about this have been met with deadly silence. So you'll be stuck with Auracle, and you can forget about scripting and automation. Also, overall documentation is almost non-existent (videos? come on...)

16 in/outs directly recognized in Ableton. Instant.

Then you route any midi anywhere, also usb midi from any controller to any synth or group...

It does it all. Worth every penny.
