Hi there, hope everyone in here and at Blokas is doing well and having a great weekend so far!
I’ve seen a video from SynthDad where he has an EC4 MIDI jack out going to Midihub in; I’ve tried that and it works but I can’t seem to get the Midihub to respond to USB MIDI from the EC4. Is it possible to have the two communicate USB to USB or did I completely miss something in front of my face? 
Cheers!
Looking at the EC4 specs, you can’t connect it directly to the MidiHub via USB, you need an USB Host (a pc, special purpose MIDI-box, DIY solution…) in between.
Say i have a USB hub in between them. Would that do the trick?
I’m looking to use the Midihub in a Eurorack environment, with the FaderFox being able to control some of the parameters in Midihub as well as some in a Expert Sleepers FH 2.
No. You can connect devices to a USB hub all you want, but the only thing you get from it is power. You need a USB Host to route data between devices, that’s just how USB works.
Cool, I have a MIDI host i can use for that. I appreciate the help!!
Just beware, the devil’s in the details - some standalone USB-MIDI hosts support hubs and others don’t, and what sort of routing they support varies a lot etc.
The EC4 also has TRS jacks that you can connect to a TRS to MIDI adapter. You could use them to connect directly to the Midhub. Beware though that there are two types of these adapters Type A and Type B and they are not compatible. You should be able to use the one that came with your EC4. FaderFox uses Type B as well as Arturia, Launchpad Pro. Korg and Akaie use Type A as well as Disaster Area Designs MIDIBaby.
