MIDI interface for PC compatibles The new interface combines rock solid
Opcode performance with a unique modular architecture that allows an unprecedented
degree of expansion and flexibility
The exclusive "docking" port of the MIDI Translator PC allows multiple
units to be chained together. A single MIDI Translator PC gives the user
a 2 IN x 2 OUT, 32-channel MIDI interface that easily connects to the
parallel port of a PC. Quickly expand this to a 4 IN x 4 OUT, 64 -channel
interface by simply docking two units together.
The "docking" port of the MIDI Translator PC also acts as a printer
passthru port. Controllable via software it allows a printer to remain
connected and on-line at all times-no hassles with printer cable swapping.
The MIDI Translator PC is compatible with all Windows(TM) 3. 1, Windows

interface an excellent value. But the MIDI Translator PC's printer passthru
port, docking feature, and portability make it a breakthrough product
among PC interfaces," says Mr. Rowe.
