Introduction
Features of the UM-880
The UM-880 is a USB MIDI interface that connects to your computer via USB.
8 in/8 out USB MIDI interface
With eight sets of MIDI input/output ports, the UM-880 lets you
simultaneously control a maximum of 128 channels. Connection to your
computer is easy---simply connect a USB cable and you're done. Support for
hot-plugging allows you to connect or disconnect the UM-880 even while
your computer is turned on.
Up to four UM-880 units can be used simultaneously, expanding your system
to 512 channels.
Hardware-based MIDI Patcher functionality
The UM-880 features hardware MIDI patcher functionality, which uses
HDMR technology to guarantee low latency. MIDI can be routed directly,
simply by pressing the panel buttons; and there are none of the complicated
settings that are all too common on software patchers. When a computer is
not connected, the UM-880 can also be used as a stand-alone MIDI patcher.
High-speed transmission of MIDI data
FPT technology allows optimal transmission of MIDI data via USB, for high-
speed and stable transmission of data. Performance will always be optimal,
regardless of the applications you use.
Maximum of eight patches can be stored
Up to eight separate sets of input/output connections that you specify can be
stored in memory.
Easy USB connection to your computer
The UM-880 can be connected even when your computer is turned on. You
can also switch between the USB connectors on the front and rear panels.

HDMR (Hardware Direct
MIDI Routing): Connects
port to port in hardware,
guaranteeing low latency.
FPT (Fast Processing

effective use of the USB
bandwidth according to
the amount of transmitted
MIDI data, performing
optimal MIDI data
processing at all times.
