Thei2M musicportfromSONUUSoffers a versatile way to connect your instrument to your computer by combining a Hi-Z USB audio interface with a fast and accurate, monophonic audio-to-MIDI converter that doesn’t require instrument modifications or special pickups. Optimized for guitar and bass, it allows musicians to capture their instrument in high-quality audioand to access sounds previously available only to keyboard playersfor recording or performing live using their preferred instrument.

The i2M’s audio interface features a Hi-Z input circuitry and a pre-amp with adjustable gain, designed to accommodate a wide variety of musical instruments without tone degradation. The interface captures audio at up to 16-bit /48 kHz resolution, which can then be recorded into your favorite DAW or used live through amp simulators.

The fast-tracking, low-latency MIDI converter provides robust note detection that minimizes wrong notes and allows for accurate MIDI pitch-bend or chromatic mode. It features a flexible architecture with six zones, each with configurable pitch-bend, MIDI channel, transpose, and other parameters.

Compact and lightweight (at 1.4 oz), the i2M musicport easily fits in your pocket. Quick to set up with plug-and-play functionality, the unit is USB bus-powered and compatible with Mac, Windows, iOS, or Linux systems.
