Disaster Area Designs gHOST Converter

The Disaster Area gHOST Converter is an innovative interface that connects class-compliant USB MIDI devices to a hardware 5-pin DIN MIDI interface.  Any MIDI device that is supported without drivers should connect to the USB Host port on the gHOST Converter, which then provides 5-pin MIDI input and output connectors.

The gHOST Converter is compatible with multiple USB devices if connected via a powered hub.  The gHOST Converter directs incoming MIDI traffic on channels 1-4 to hub devices 1-4.  If no hub is present, all incoming and outgoing data will be sent to the USB device.  USB channel assignments are editable using MIDI CC commands.
