Hey Andy (welcome to MH forums& all that!)
will the Midihub produce any notable latency?
here’s a search for “latency” when mentioned by Giedrius (one of the inventors).
Check out notes on Firmware update in particular which shows latency figures
Can I program the Midihub to replace this 32 pad Ableton project?
I’m not clear whether Midihub is to be used to link
- controller → Launchpad to configure the kit change
- Launchpad → hardware drum machines once configured
- both
Probably most crucially: does “I can change the note value of this pad anywhere from C1 to C3 using CC21” mean that CC21 changes the pad directly or tells the project to send a short Sysex to the Launchpad to make the change?
Whatever the answers you can probably find a way around with Midihub ,
but it would be good to be clear which solution[1] would fit your exact setup just to be sure
[1] For example even in the case where project sends Sysex (meaning MH won’t do that for you), Midihub could (depending on your controller):
-
use a CC value (for a given CCid) to switch incoming notes down a chosen pipeline to Transform them to other notes on other channels to your specification.
-
or, use a Program Change to switch between patches specifically set up for translating each drum ‘suite’.
The solutions are myriad, Andy.
btw have you downloaded the Editor yet? You don’t need a hub to start playing with it.
