Can MidiHub solve my splitting issue?

Midihub Support

Hi,

I am trying to work around the horrible MIDI clock in the MPC One (really a step down from my old MPC1000), and just discovered MidiHub. Before I discovered MIDI hub, I was trying to work around the MPC clock with a MIDI splitter AND merger in the images here:

Basically I am planning to:

  • Split the MIDI fom the octatrack so it goes to: 1) the MPC 2) the MIDI merger,
  • Send the MIDI from the MPC to the other input of the Merger so it is merged with the stable clock from the Octratrack.

Can anyone tell me if the MidiHub could replace both the merger and splitter in this setup?

Thank you!

Yes, you can do all of that with Midihub and then some. :slight_smile: Let us know if you need any help building out the preset. You’d basically place some filters here and there to drop out the Clock messages where necessary.

You’d probably place Midihub at the center of your MIDI setup, so the Drummer MIDI Out would go into Midihub, and then distributed to other devices, and merged with data coming out of them as necessary. This way you’d have a central place to manage your MIDI flow.

Awesome, thank you! I want it so my setup also works without receiving MIDI from the drummer though. Basically I want to use the Octatrack as a master in that case. Wouldn’t it make more sense to send the Octatrack MIDI out to the MidiHub, and then from the MidiHub:

  • Send clock to MPC input
  • Receive notes, MIDI CC, program change etc. from MPC output
  • Send a version with clock and MPC data merged to my Pitchfactor, Nord Lead and Kaoss Pad (PF, NL and KP in the image)

Is that possible?

hey @midiidim–you may have already know this, but you can download the Editor and start building your preset before you actually invest in a Midihub.
(Although you won’t be able to test it, you can upload it here for help/comment)

and then some…

…this includes Midihub’s own Clock generator (plus a bunch of stuff which can make it alomost a MIDI instrument in its own right!)
btw,
Your preset design could now give each of {MPC, PF, NL, KP} its own MIDI DIN connection

Yes, as well as Filters, you will use virtual inputs and outputs to get different versions.
Take a look at the “New to Midihub: Step-by-Step” series in tutorials for some examples (episodes 4 & 5)

Than you, that is good enough for me - just sent my order and looking forward to trying to set it all up :crossed_fingers:
