The Edirol UM-3EX is the most innovative mid-sized MIDI interface on the market. The expandable design of the UM-3EX makes it the ideal MIDI interface for the small studio, but allows you to daisy-chain up to three units together for a total of nine MIDI inputs and outputs. The UM-3EX can be mounted into the RAF-70, a rackmount kit, making for a clean, expandable studio installation.

The UM-3EX allows you to select between MIDI Out and MIDI Thru for each output port.

The UM-3EX uses FPT (Fast Processing Technology) to ensure low-latency, low-jitter MIDI transmission, even with three devices daisy-chained together.

• 3-in/3-out MIDI ports (female)
• Out or Thru selectable switches built-in
• USB hub built in, and up to 3-unit cascade connection
• Control up to 48 channels of MIDI equipment
• Rackmountable in a RAF-70
• Fast and stable MIDI data transmission realized by FTP
• USB bus power (AC adaptor not required)
• EDIROL designs its USB devices in accordance with USB specifications and has passed all compatibility tests, which are continuously held and organized by USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF).
