Sited south of Baden, Germany, Ploytec offers a ready-to-use USB2.0 full-speed USB-MIDI-solution that features up to 5 MIDI inputs and outputs in a single device. With this chip one can easily build a MIDI Interface or covert an existing MIDI keyboard into an USB keyboard. The GM5 chip works with standard class-compliant drivers and is fully compatible with Windows Vista, XP and Mac OS X. Alternatively, customers can use the GM5 chip with Ploytec's special custom drivers, which feature greatly enhanced performance compared to standard drivers. GM5 Ics support an I2C EEPROM for vendor-specific data and start at euros 2.50 in quantity. Ploytec is a leader in providing USB audio and MIDI drivers to end customers with 8 years experience in USB driver design. Ploytec has assisted the music industry into adoption of the USB2.0 protocol for audio with high-performance, low latency software and hardware that pushes the limits of USB audio. About Ploytec GmbH: Markus Medau, a developer and keyboardist with the Berlin bands Edit_H and GEN:IX born in 1972, joined forces in 1999 with Werner Wirsum, an information scientist born in 1968, to develop USB ASIO drivers. It all began with Cubase, a computer, and the lack of an audio input. Reputable manufacturers soon secured licenses (Allen&Heath, Apogee, ESI, TerraTec, and Yamaha, later followed by Steinberg, Access, Alesis, Tascam, Numark, and others). Kicking off their hardware business in early 2004 with the founding of Ploytec GmbH, the entrepreneurs are now busy developing USB2 audio hardware and software.
