The UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid from MOTU is a hybrid FireWire and USB 2.0 audio and MIDI interface for Windows and Mac computers with built-in DSP processing that also offers powerful stand-alone mixer functionality. It connects to both Mac and Windows computers through either a FireWire or USB port and provides high-resolution audio inputs and outputs for the connected computer. The option of computer connections provides a welcome level of future-proof usage.

Built-in DSP processing gives you the ability to add reverbs, compressors, and EQ to all input and output channels of the UltraLite-mk3, without taxing the host computer's processors. Additionally, when the UltraLite-mk3 is configured for stand-alone use, the DSP processing can be used without being attached to a computer. You can even call up the effects and tweak their parameters to your liking by utilizing the LCD display, all without a computer. Among the included effects are a vintage LA-2A compression emulation, and a range of reverbs and EQs.

A rich assortment of inputs and outputs are provided on the UltraLite-mk3, and controlling their gain settings is easy. You can make fine adjustments to the microphone preamps, as well as the input and output trims of all of the 1/4" jacks. Mac and Windows compatible CueMix FX software is included which enables you to create and save elaborate mixing and routing setups for the UltraLite-mk3. You can even slave to external SMPTE time code source through any of its quarter-inch inputs or outputs. MOTU SMPTE Console software is included to generate, regenerate, or slave other devices to your computer.

question

Will it play nice with Pro Tools on my Windows 7 (soon windows 10) system?
Asked by: Anonymous
Hi Gabriel, i dont use this interface for work with pro tools, i use this with Reaper and Ableton Live on OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 7 32 bits and work perfect. I recorded a live band on 96khz and 24 bits on 8 channels. I play my synthesizers, guitar and percussion instruments and process this on real time and works fine. I provide the ultrlite to my friend and him work with pro tools on Windows 7 64bit and works fine at 96khz 24bit session. This is my experience and hope help you to decide

Asked by: Anonymous
hello, if you use the Firewire connection then no other power source is required (the Firewire port is bus-powered). However if you use the USB2 port you'll need to use the supplied power adapted - the USB port is not bus-powered.
