Title: NOT ultra-fast for SysExes
Product review: Bought this on a whim because it was inexpensive and I wanted an emergency backup (mostly in case of loss/breakage) for the Roland UM-1 which I have been using happily for many years. My application involves sending and receiving LOTS of SysExes, and despite being supposedly "ultra-fast" (which was all the info I had to go on) the EMU XMIDI 1x1 was completely unable to keep up.Out of curiosity I just did a direct comparison test using the miditest utility ([...]) to send/receive 10000 bytes worth of sysexes. The EMU had a whopping total Snd+Rcv time of 2500ms for this test, versus a snappy 210ms for the Roland UM-1.aaaaaand, returning the EMU to store.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
