Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the mio10™ Advanced MIDI Interface, a member of iConnectivity's
line of innovative interfaces.
Your interface has full support for two Macs or PCs - at the same time! - plus you can connect it
to your router and access four more computer devices over Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet. The
mio10™ offers extremely flexible MIDI routing between everything connected: all those
computers, plus the MIDI hardware plugged into its ten in/out pairs of 5-pin MIDI and its USB
MIDI Hosting Port. (There's a USB MIDI Class-Compliant Hosting Port on the rear of the
interface, which you can expand with a powered USB hub to access up to ten USB MIDI
devices.)
Between all those external and internal connections, your mio10™ has a total of 56
configurable 16-channel MIDI ports! All those data streams let you use a substantial number of
modern and vintage MIDI devices, get them all talking to each other, and also bring in "guest"
equipment and computers very quickly when you collaborate with other musicians on stage or
in the studio.
Because of your mio10's built-in MIDI filtering/routing/merging, stand-alone hardware units
aren't needed for those functions. MIDI can also be routed to multiple destinations, for
example if you want to layer sounds on different instruments, and each destination can have its
own MIDI processing.
All the MIDI routing and processing is simple to set up in the included iConfig software for Mac
and PC (www.iConnectivity.com/support/downloads), and your complete configuration can be
saved in non-volatile flash memory on the device. It remembers it all when you power up the
next time.
There are no Mac or PC software drivers to install, because the interface is USB Class-
Compliant, and it can be powered over the USB bus without a power adapter.
