USB-MIDI-R8 Launched

Published - 08/07/2026

We are happy to announce the launch of the USB-MIDI-R8 .

The USB-MIDI-R8 provides eight volt free contact relay outputs with a current rating of up to 16A that can be controlled using MIDI. The relays are SPCO (Single Pole Change Over) types, with the normally open, normally closed and common pins are all available on the screw terminals.

It is supplied in a case with an integrated din rail mounting clip, and eylets for wall mounting. The lid of the case has LED indication for power, data, and each relay power state.

The USB-MIDI-R8 can be controled from most modern Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) via its USB port, and is class compliant so requires no drivers. Once pluggen in and powered the module should appear as a standard midi device. For more traditional setups, though, it also has a DIN connection for MIDI In and Thru.
