Black Lion Audio Introduces the MIDI Eight

Black Lion Audio’s MIDI Eight: A Class-Compliant 8×8 MIDI Interface With Standalone Routing and Built-In Powered USB Hub.

PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT

Black Lion Audio announces the MIDI Eight, an 8-input/8-output MIDI interface designed to unify even the most sprawling synth and controller setups. With driverless class-compliant operation, flexible standalone modes, and a robust five-port powered USB hub built directly into the unit, the MIDI Eight brings order, stability, and serious workflow upgrades to any studio or stage.

he MIDI Eight provides eight 5-pin MIDI inputs and outputs, bold real-time activity indicators for visual feedback, and front-mounted I/O for quick connection of newly-acquired hardware. A built-in five-port powered USB hub accommodates modern USB MIDI controllers, mobile devices, and essential computer peripherals, making the MIDI Eight a complete command center for hybrid or hardware-only setups. A dedicated PANIC button instantly silences stuck notes — a must-have for both live and studio reliability.

The MIDI Eight will begin shipping through Black Lion Audio’s network of dealers and distributors (https://www.blacklionaudio.com/dealers/) in mid-Q1 2026 with a US MAP of $349.00 USD and an EU SSP of €465.00 EUR (inc. 19% VAT).
