https://www.esi-audio.com/products/m8uex/Must admit I've collected enough gear again that MIDI is becoming an issue again. I have an old 7-way MIDI patchbay, but not enough, though it's rare I need to be using all gear at the same time. Was looking at one (or two) of those MOTU patchbays, but none of the NZ dealers stock them or even seem to know what they are, so I'd have to buy from overseas...anywhere in US seem to charge like wounded bulls for shipping.
So, a couple of questions, as I don't want to get into daisy-chaining again. That works, but not ideal.
1. Can you still reliably do MIDI over USB via a USB hub? I thought hubs were supposed to be a bit dodgy? Without one of them, I see no benefit in USB as it still means repatching all the time. If hubs are workable I should properly consider USB nowadays. I can see benefits, such as the Behringer TD3 sequencer has an app via USB which is better than the silly onboard 303 job (anything is better than a 303 sequencer)
2. Know of any other MIDI patchbay makers? All I could find were MOTU.
