good!

I bought this with the Moog Sub Phatty 25-Key, it works really well, I don't have to adjust sound or have a pre-amp to have sound work well through instruments anymore, it is a very good thing for using more than 5 instruments together at once, I use it in the middle of my room connected to all of my friends instruments.

Great little box.

The Oplab musical experiment board allows you to interconnect virtually any electronic musical instruments and music software. No more hassle with one box for MIDI and another for CV or a third for USB. Just connect your cables, set the appropriate scenario and experience a perfect sync. Oplab has it all in one place.
