midi hardware question - Fritz - 02-07-2013
is there a midi box that with take a usb A connector and send the midi out 2 midi ports?
I want to fire 2 Ableton Live systems simultaneously off one LaunchPad so that the 2 systems timing is as close as possible.
I would connect the outgoing midi to 2 audio/midi I/Os such as MotU Traveler mk 3's.
or a good mid forum to pose the same question?

I've seen things online that take a USB Type B connector and have two MIDI outputs. Could that be it, a so-called "2x2" box?
Re: midi hardware question - Fritz - 02-07-2013
it is, but that won't do the job, unfortunately because of the direction I need to go and the connector.

The boxes have two MIDI outputs, right? Do they need two inputs instead?
