Opcode Unveils MIDI Translator PC

Modular Interface Expands Via Exclusive "Docking" Port

NAMM EXPO * JANUARY 18, 1996--Opcode Systems, Inc. today announced its MIDI
Translator PC, an expandable MIDI interface for PC compatibles. The new
interface combines rock solid Opcode performance with a unique modular
architecture that allows an unprecedented degree of expansion and
flexibility.

The exclusive "docking" port of the MIDI Translator PC allows multiple
units to be chained together. A single MIDI Translator PC gives the user a
2 IN x 2 OUT, 32-channel MIDI interface that easily connects to the
parallel port of a PC. Quickly expand this to a 4 IN x 4 OUT, 64-channel
interface by simply docking two units together.

The "docking" port of the MIDI Translator PC also acts as a printer
passthru port. Controllable via software, it allows a printer to remain
connected and on-line at all times--no hassles with printer cable
swapping.

The MIDI Translator PC is compatible with all Windows(tm) 3.1, Windows 95,
and Windows for Workgroups MIDI software. Small and extremely portable, it
fits perfectly alongside any desktop or laptop PC.

Carrying on a tradition of quality, the MIDI Translator PC was developed by
Opcode in conjunction with David Rowe, founder of Music Quest, and
Opcode's new Director of Hardware Products. "Price alone makes our 2 port
interface an excellent value. But the MIDI Translator PC's printer
passthru port, docking feature, and portability make it a breakthrough
product among PC interfaces," says Mr. Rowe.

Expandable, flexible, modular--the new MIDI Translator PC offers many
options for the beginner, as well as the professional, in a dependable,
small and easy-to-use package.
