Furry musician or composer who could use this?
15 years ago
General
I've recently updated my music making setup along with getting a new computer and switching to Windows 7. I'm now exclusively using my Fireface audio interface, it's new and has very crisp sound, and it's portable.
This leaves me with some spare professional grade audio hardware. 8 years old, yes, but in working condition.
- emagic unitor 8 USB midi interface (8 in, 8 out)
- MoTu 1224 24 bit 48 kHz 12 channel audio interface (8 analog in, 8 analog out, AES/EBU in/out, headphones) with PCI card
All these are known to work under Windows XP 32bit, I have never tried them with any modern OS. Since emagic has since been acquired by Apple, Windows driver support is a little spotty.
Why am I writing about this? I could put the devices on eBay, where given their age and condition they might gain me a few euros.
But perhaps there is a young, budding furry composer or musician out there who'd love to have such a setup and could never dream of affording it at this time. For that, I'm willing to give them away. I could either bring them to Eurofurence or MMC, or ship the devices, in which case the new owner will need to cover shipping cost.
If you know a furry musician or composer who could use them, please point them to my livejournal posting:

PLEASE COMMENT ON LIVEJOURNAL, not here. Thank you.
Update: the decision has been made. If you took the time to go to lj and comment, thank you. I wasn't even aware of some of the musicians who did, so I got an unexpected boon out of my posting. I'll be getting in touch with each of you, although I can only give the hardware to one, and it's a tough decision.

I can still route it over a second computer and bridge the MIDI, or use a MIDI cable... but both alternatives are just sucky! Why can't Roland just open-source the XP drivers and let someone else write the win7 drivers instead?
