MOTU micro lite — 5x5 USB MIDI interface

Gearank Recommended

The MOTU micro lite appeared on our recommended list for MIDI Interfaces when we published the first edition in April 2017 and it remained there until September 2022 when it had been out-ranked by other interfaces.

Overview

The MOTU micro lite 5x5 is a professional MIDI interface that provides 5 MIDI In/MIDI Out and 80 MIDI channels that are compatible with all versions of Mac and Windows devices.

It has a metal casing build that's both portable and convenient for desktop operation.

It also has removable rack attachments and a custom center-joint fastener that allow you to mount two of these interfaces side by side in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

The number of MIDI ports can be expanded by plugging it to other MOTU MIDI interfaces.

This is an affordable choice for your professional or home studio that's expandable and has extra features.
