Just got mine in the mail, and it passed all my tests, responding to all 16 MIDI channels, and all 128 CC#s.
Tested with MIDI Fighter Twister, Akai LPD8 wireless, and old LPD8.
Using it to send MIDI from a Class Compliant USB MIDI only controller (Twister) to my Octatrack MK1.
Very lightweight, and very low profile, as seen next to my already small old 1st Gen iConnectMIDI:
DIN MIDI Out only, no two way input/output. But that works for me.
Supply your own USB power and USB Micro cable to power it.
Mine is working fine off a powered USB 3.0 MTT hub, getting power only at 5v/900ma, using the hub just to keep things simple on my desk. Also tested OK with an ancient Nook USB 5V/850ma adapter.
So just about any 5v USB power adapter would do the job.
Kind of a neat product. He is fashioning them out of USB battery packs, reusing the power board. These are about $2.30 ea on Alibaba. I can really appreciate the hustle and imagination. He’s sold over 50 of them on eBay from looking at all the positive feedback.
yep, and already has the power board, USB-A, USB micro jacks.
The power button does nothing, but the LEDs do light up to show the unit is receiving power.
He’s probably got a mountain of 18650 batteries. It’d be interesting to know what creative solution he has for those.
I ordered one because of this thread… and it works great! Also, super fast shipping. Now I can use an older Novation launchkey with my 5-pin synths–nice!
Just ordered today. Also ordered a Behringer touch Mini to pair it with to control OT.
Glad you posted this as I was looking for a cheap Usb to MIDI host.
