I have plenty of rack gear but fewer sources, so the 16-port one currently with 4 ins and 12 outs. Interested in this ploytech angle myself.Įach physical port being in/out is much more useful if than x-in + x-out where you might have all the outputs occupied, but only half the inputs. What kind of jitter latency are you getting when inputting midi are you using as your daw? Mpc doesn't count on this discussion.īy the way, I tried a Roland uno and it was terrible with every daw I tested it with for keyboard inpuuting. You have been warned.What computer are you using? Mpc doesn't count. Simple is the way to music, endless patching is the way to more patching.

SELL the stuff your never going to use (And you know the stuff I'm talking about) You are headed down a dead-end street, put stuff AWAY, take it out when you are USING it. That is a trap SO MANY have fallen into, you will spend innumerable hours troubleshooting, that will be your new gig.The MIDI trouble shooter.ĭO NOT try and have everything "Out and accessible" it's rare you'll even want to use more that one or two things at a time, you may have one or two, track them to audio, rinse and repeat, The cool thing about it is that if you aren't running it as an interface, then it functions as a thru box.so for things that lack a MIDI thru, and thus are impossible to chain.Like Volcas for instance.I can take one MIDI out of my MPC (any sequencer works) assign 4 volcas to channels 1-4 and can split the one MIDI out to four "unchainable" devices, and chaining actually creates more problems, so a thru box is preferable.īut honestly, my advice is this.that M-Audio box I just mentioned will cost you about $40, you can get a ROLAND Uno for $20, so it really doesn't matter.but I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you "give up the dream" of having all your MIDI-capable gear wired up and ready to go. I'm actually still using one of those old M-Audio.what the hell are they called? It's in a steel box, 2 x2, it's old as hell.It's actually an "anniversary edition.
