BomeBox
The MIDI Hub for Stage & Studio
The BomeBox is the solution for connecting and mapping devices via MIDI, Ethernet, WiFi, and USB (without the need of a computer). Cross-connect USB-MIDI devices (powered by the BomeBox), MIDI 5-pin DIN, other BomeBoxes, and computers.
""The BomeBox is the best MIDI tool I've ever owned. It served me right on Nine Inch Nails and now I take it with me to every gig. As I know, I can trust it."
– Jason Buckley (NIN D3 Operator/Programmer) |
