we seem to have quite a few topics detailing usb midi devices NOT working.
I think it would be useful to have a list of devices known/tested to WORK
this might be useful for 4ms in the future to include on the website somewhere… but here is a good place to capture experiences.
to keep this topic clean/simple , some ‘guidelines’
ONE post per user, with ALL devices.
where necessary, edit your post to include new devices that you have found to work
do not repeat existing entries.
no need, to repeat those that someone else has already listed
no discussion, just listing of devices
do NOT include devices not working.
create a new topic for devices you are having issues with
the last point is very important, there are lots of reasons why something may not work, so should be explored away from this topic.
ofc, once you get it working, then you can list it here
testing regime / patch
this is how I tested, I used the simplest way possible to avoid any other potential issues!
all done on the MM itself !
create new patch
add Resonator (Rings)
Resonator : v/oct - midi map, Note: Pitch
Resonator : strum - midi map, Note: Gate
Resonator : odd/even - panel out 1/2
note: by default midi pitch/gate mapping are to midi channel 1.
MM Limitations
direct connection only
usb hubs do not work
MM is a USB host
so only USB midi class compliant devices are supported.
the following worked for me using the 4ms provided usb-c male<>usb a fem adapter:
arturia keylab 61 (can be powered by mm via usb cable)
behringer bcr2000
behringer U-Control UMX25
keith mcmillan qunexus K708
korg minilogue
korg nanokey2
korg nanokey studio
korg nanokontrol studio
korg nanokontrol 2
FaderFox UC4
Elektron Digitone (but only with a specialised Din > usb3 cable).
However, Usb B to Usb C cable or Usb B to Usb A using supplied adapter do not work.
Clarification on devices, they only work when they are in device mode as Meta is only able to host and not be a device itself, which may seem obvious to some but is a bit limiting when working with a USB host router and trying to send midi to the Meta from the router
So here’s my list for working:
Launchpad pro older version
Launchpad pro mk3
Squarp hapax device port only
Oxi one device mode only
as per OP, I think it would be better if we keep this topic for listing working devices. as a ‘reference topic’
questions / non-working devices will tend to dilute this ,and I think warrant a separate topic to have meaningful discussion etc.
aka, dont be afraid to create new topics
