Features

Thank you for purchasing the Midiman PORTMAN 4x4/S paral-

lel port MIDI interface. The PORTMAN 4x4/S offers professional

MIDI and SMPTE performance in an external interface that

attaches to any standard, bi-directional, ECP or EPP PC parallel

port.

The PORTMAN 4x4/S is a third-generation product based on

proven Midiman PORTMAN and Syncman interface technolo-

gies. The PORTMAN 4x4/S has the following features:

• High-speed proprietary architecture outperforms other

externally-connected MIDI interface boxes.

• Four independent MIDI Outs and MIDI Ins provide 64

channels of MIDI output and 64 channels of MIDI input.

• Large high-performance data buffers ensure full MIDI

throughput with absolutely no data loss.

• Built-in SMPTE Time Code reader/writer/regenerator

supports all standard time code formats.

• Supports SMPTE User Bits.

• Adjustable SMPTE flywheel and Jam Sync.

• Windows driver works with all Windows applications that

are Windows Multimedia Extensions (MME) compliant.

• Windows driver is multi-client (supports full MIDI band-

width on all ports -- even when using multiple programs).

• Completely controllable and configurable via Windows

Remote Control software.

• Automatically stores and reloads user settings from last

session.

• Operates as MIDI Patchbay when not in interface mode.

• Patchbay settings are stored internally so PORTMAN

4x4/S can be used without connection to computer
