Opcode Studio128X

soundonsound.com

Opcode's Studio 128X is a robust addition for serious MIDI users, boasting eight ports that deliver extensive routing options for 128 channels. Its compatibility with both MacOS and Windows is a plus, alongside the intuitive front panel. Despite its sleek design, the lack of a front-panel program display and tricky power connector placement are notable drawbacks.

Opcode 128X MIDI interface. "I wasn't crazy about getting into the world of MIDI interfaces, because up until only last year, I used the Yamaha C1, which has built‑in 8‑port MIDI as well as SMPTE read and write. I was using 8‑port MIDI when people didn't even know what a MIDI port was! It was just rock solid, nothing ever went wrong."
