Very happy with this unit, it enables me to use my MIDI gear within one DAW (currently MPC Beats), without fuss, without hassle, just the way I like it. Within MPC Beats you can rename the ESI MIDI INS and OUTS to the instruments they're attached to, so you can select for example "Minilogue Out", or "TR8-S IN". Perfect and simple.
The standalone modus is also very handy, for when you want one MIDI instrument to trigger up to 7 others, without using a DAW.
I haven't tested Sysex yet, though, but I'll update this review as soon as I have.
Thanks again Thomann for the quick answers to my questions and fast delivery, and for not making a issue of all the gear I've returned so far :-) This one is a keeper though!
