MOTU Ultralite MK3 Hybrid

Anyone had any issues with this firewire/usb interface?

I've had it for about 2 months and all of a sudden having some issues with it making it an expsensive paper weight. Motu is asking me to send it in for a free repair.

I'm just wondering what others experiences have been like.

what is your system? Mac or PC?

it's perfectly possible that you've experienced a hardware failure somewhere on the MOTU.  that said, MOTU is great about repair service.

on the other hand, your computer may have a failure on whatever port (FW/USB) you are using the MOTU on (which has happened to me, twice, two different laptops).  do you have any  problems on this port?

hey adam, apart from the failure that is a downer, how happy were you with the motu mk3?
I am currently thinking about getting one...

Using a Mac for the most part, sometimes a PC. No problem with the ports when using my backup interface.

MOTU said they were pretty certain the MKIII has some sort of hardware failure. I was concerned because I couldn't find anything on the web about the error message I was getting from the MKIII. I'm sure it will be fixed accordingly.

It's been great, I bought it for the additional ins & outs, and you can use Volta http://www.motu.com/products/software/volta/images/signal-path.jpg/image_view_fullscreen plugin which basically gives you CV control.

I'm just not crazy about about it crapping out this early on.

Oh  well, it will give me some free time to work with the new MFB Urzwerg sequencer I just received.
