MAudio Midisport 2x2 (Macintosh and Windows)
MIDISPORT 2x2 is a multi-port MIDI interface for USB-equipped PC and Apple computers. MIDISPORT's high-speed USB (Universal Serial Bus) connection to the computer assures reliable, immediate MIDI transfers. Installation is a breeze — no computer disassembly, no jumpers to set, no I/O Addresses, IRQs, or DMA channels to configure! Expansion is just as easy — just plug in additional MIDISPORT units for more MIDI ports.

USB MIDI interfaces allow you to connect your computer to compatible external hardware devices like a MIDI controller for example, or a mixing surface. The MIDI controller can send MIDI messages to a sound module on your PC and tell it to trigger sounds and/or even manipulate effects like panning, volume, cut-off etc...
USB interfaces are pretty much the common standard now for connecting external MIDI devices to your computer, but if you've just bought a new MIDI controller and are saddled with an older computer (or vice versa: New PC, older MIDI keyboard) there are adaptors that will hook the 2 technologies together, so fear not, you can still keep hold of your vintage gear.

What others are saying:
feature:
good enough for my home software recording projects as i'm only using two midi keyboards.
quality:
generally good except that it makes no sense to have the in-a port located in the front of the unit.
value:
considering all the problems i've had with it i would conclude that it has little to no value. however, when it decides to work properly it does a great job. the problem is it doesn't work very often.
desirability:
as stated before, all the ports need to be at the back of the unit. other than that it's just fine.
sound:
sound is not the issue. when it works it transfers sound well.
support:
fairly quick responses but problems were not resolved.
overall:
i'm going to get a different midi interface simply because i'm frustrated with it not working right all the time; spending way too much time trying to get it to function. it has kept me from getting my projects done in a timely fashion.
