Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the mio2™ 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! The mio2 offers
extremely flexible MIDI routing between everything connected: both computers plus the MIDI
hardware plugged into its two in/out pairs of 5-pin MIDI.
Between all those external and internal connections, your mio2 has a total of ten 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 mio2'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 is powered by the USB bus so no other power adaptor is necessary.
