You can select from 13 different CC values (if you′re superstitious then Mini MIDI is not for you). The CC value to be converted is set using rear panel DIP switches, allowing multiple Mini MIDIs to respond to different CC values from the same DAW / instrument source. Pitch and Gate are self-explanatory, taking MIDI note information (pitch and note-on/off) from your DAW / keyboard / keytar / USB-whatever, and turning it into something your modular oscillators understand.ĬC receives note velocity, aftertouch, or continuous controller information from USB and spits out modular-friendly CV, ready to command anything from filter cut-off to LFO rate. Nevertheless, this simple, space-saving format contains no less than seven connections: Pitch, Gate, CC, Start, Clock, USB Device, USB Host. Mini MIDI draws aesthetic inspiration from a runway model… or a drumstick… or the Taipei 101. We love the power and creativity of DAWs, so we′ve long dreamed of a module to bridge the gap between our computer, modular system, and USB MIDI devices. We love analogue hardware, and we also love the power and creativity of DAWs. With over 20+ modules and three complete modular systems in our portfolio, you′d be forgiven for thinking we′re a bunch of purists, roaming the studios of Berlin by night, looking for unsuspecting copies of Ableton Live and Cubase to infect with viruses.īut nothing could be further from the truth.
#USB HOST TO MIDI CONVERTER UPDATE#
If MidiTech provides a firmware update that fixes these issues, then yeah, this would be a properly useful product.Want to connect your modular system to USB MIDI equipment or computer-based DAWs? Simultaneously? We did too. I ended up making my own custom made USB MIDI router out of a Raspberry Pi Zero and a powered USB HUB and an M-Audio MidAir interface but a wanted an even more compact and simpler solution which, unfortunately, the Miditech USB MIDI Host isn't and I ended up paying for it just to know that. It may be wrongly binding to the new Audio one now instead of the MIDI one, so it recognizes the connection (LED changes from RED to GREEN) but no data is transmitted to/from the MIDI DIN ports. It does work with OP#242 ('OP-1 Midi Device MIDI 1' port), so I'm guessing it can't distinguish which of the 2 (renamed to 'OP-1 MIDI 1' and the new Audio 'OP-1') virtual device ports should connect to. I also found out that it doesn't work with the latest Teenage Engineering OP-1 OS#243 firmware update. It kinda works fine when converting very simple USB-only controllers to MIDI DIN Out or when converting MIDI DIN In into USB-only devices.Ĭonnecting it to USB-only devices that send out MIDI Clock/Sync msgs will hang it after a few seconds, so it's useless to convert USB MIDI devices like sequencers or drum-machines, like the (USB-only) Millenium MD-90 Mobile Drum, which was exactly why I bought the Miditech USB MIDI Host and it turned into a relatively expensive paperweight for me, since it's useless for what I wanted it for.
