I tried MOTU support, but no reply as of yet. So I figured I'd inquire here since some of you are pretty sharp.
I have a MOTU MIDI Express 128 that won't work with some of my MIDI devices. After checking with a scope, it seems that the input ports of the MOTU force pin 5 of the transmitting device to 5V, even when the transmitting device wants to go low.
If I use a different MIDI interface (even a cheap one), the problem goes away. The MOTU works with some devices, but not others. My other interfaces work with all devices. It seems that the MOTU wants an excessive amount of current.
This isn't my first problem with MOTU designs. Does MOTU suck? Thoughts?
