Still up after all these years
Using two of these since 2000. Never had timing problems, patch function lets you route your master keyboard to any (or multiple) modules/drum machines in a breeze. Very good for hardware layering with no need of a computer. After Edirol UM series there's nothing new on the market nowadays but sure this is the most underrated midi interface ever, Very nice front I/O for connections on the fly by guest musicians without digging onto cables in the rack backside...

the penultimate midi patchbay and USB interface
If you use MIDI and you perform live with multiple controllers and sequencers and various synths, samplers etc? You need this. Gotta distribute clock? bang, this does it. No fuss. Its so plug and play, even sending the midi data to a computer via USB, it just works instantly! Why did they discontinue it? WHY, ROLAND, WHY?!
