Meet the Black Lion Audio MIDI EIGHT: The Ultimate MIDI Command Centre

If you’ve ever felt limited by your MIDI routing options or overwhelmed by a growing hardware setup, the Black Lion Audio MIDI EIGHT is the solution you’ve been waiting for.

Centralise Your Entire MIDI Ecosystem

The MIDI EIGHT gives you eight inputs and eight outputs, each with 16 channels, allowing you to control an entire room of hardware from a single device. No more re-patching, swapping cables, or juggling multiple interfaces – your synths, drum machines, sequencers, and controllers stay connected and ready to go.

Bold per-port LED indicators provide real-time visibility, while a built-in 5-port powered USB hub lets you connect modern USB MIDI devices or peripherals directly to the unit. Everything operates smoothly and efficiently from one central hub.

Total Flexibility With Standalone Modes

Working without a computer? The MIDI EIGHT excels here, offering three standalone modes designed for intuitive hardware workflows:

  • Pass Mode: Each input routes directly to its matching output – quick and efficient.
  • Thru Mode: One controller feeds all outputs simultaneously – perfect for multi-synth setups.
  • Merge Mode: All inputs combine and feed Output 1 – ideal for controlling a single multi-channel device.

Just switch modes from the front panel and keep the creativity flowing.


Perfect for Live Performers and Stage Rigs

Musicians who depend on MIDI-synced effects or backing tracks will love the reliability and precision of the MIDI EIGHT. Program changes, tempo-synced effects, and time-critical cues remain locked in, show after show. Built with Black Lion Audio’s durable aluminium housing, it’s tough enough for touring and polished enough for any studio rack.
