Behringer JT-4000M Micro Hybrid Modeling Synthesizer Adds MIDI In
Today, Behringer has announced the JT-4000M, an upgraded version of its JT-4000 micro synth that adds a MIDI input.
The original JT-4000 supported USB/MIDI, which limited how it could be used. The updated version lets you control it via a standard DIN MIDI connector, greatly expanding its compatibility with decades of MIDI gear.
