Two Midihubs in my Studio

Hello dear Midihub team and dear community

I’ve had a Midihub in my setup for a long time and because I love it so much I bought a second one and am now trying to integrate it into my setup.

I have set up the midihub for the left studio side in the editor and one for the right studio side. although I have configured the settings correctly in ableton, it sends me all midi data imm only to the same midihub. do you have any experience with multiple devices in the setup? do I have to set anything else for this?

Could you post a screenshot of your Ableton’s Preferences, the MIDI tab in particular?

Saw you liked my post about multiple Midihub Editors in OS X, @Flaver; has that solved your problem or is it more Ableton-specific?


Hey Guys thanks for the fast answer. that’s the pictures from Ableton midi page. by the way I run the Sonoma on the m3.

One question do I need to program each Midihub with it own editor?

Cause when I open the Editor I can choose the Midihub I want to program is that not enough?

Hey Resonotter thanks for the fast answer. Actually I don’t really understand if I have to program each Midihub with the own editor. Cause if I open the editor I can choose the hub I want program on I was thinking this should be enough

Yes, that’s right…
…and often you’ll just use the Editor on one MH at a time:

The Terminal command is there if you want to look at presets on both at the same time.
I use this particularly when I’ve got the 2 boxes talking to eachother and want to monitor flow between the two.

I might also open 2 or 3 Editors if I want to compare .mhp patches I’ve got on disk…
…or to drag useful pipelines from one patch to another

Hey Resonotter

Yeah thanks that’s a nice function :slight_smile: and helped me a lot.

The Problem is that even if I program the second one it still send all the signals to the other one :smiley:

I have a Thunderbolt Hub and there 2 more hubs where the MH is connected on the left side and right side. should be any problem I think technically cause all the hubs are with a separate power supply and the thunderbolt hub supported this hubs.

I tested it now separately. every individual MH works perfect if the other is not connected

When I plug the second one in. Ableton switches imidiatly to the other one and no signal will go to the second one. All Internal Instruments changed the midi channels to the one I plugged in.

Booth are on the newest firmware.
