…feed it with all kinds of midi USB units, turn it on and it syncs immediately all your gear in both directions, superfast and nearly up to 6 (…and many more) Units-- syncing,loading(battery),sending,receiving,all via one cable each.all the messages without any hick-ups.
it turns for instance the OP-1 and the Digitakt into a standalone set.controlling each other with a first turn priority. just talking blank USB.
i do have a solution.
tell me…
OK, I want one. where is it?
…it’s this one.
It’s meant for those who are not familiar with programming or Linux at all.
This SD Card is running Ubuntu and the Sync Image.
Plug and Play. wherever you are.
I wrote my own sorta ‘smart’ connection script for it way back at launch - the host mode seemed responsive enough (initial model), but there’s going to be a bit more latency than on a dedicated device
so what’s the sync image - is it described anywhere in terms of what’s happening, is it done in ALSA ?
It’s at least a Plug and Play Image for your Raspberry Pi.
Based on Ubuntu and fully customizable if you wish to.
If someone is Interested—PM me.
even if you’re interested in a fully working Box without any Linux, Raspbian knowledge.
plug in and sync or control any USB Midi related gear immediately.
even if it’s not class compliant.
for instance:
(master) OP-1–Digitakt (slave)
–Keystep(midi control over cv/gate/mod outputs)
–Oplab (via mini USB as a hub…which is even greater)
–Ipad
–korg Nanoseries (all 3, pad, key, kontrol)
–usb/midi din cable (for USB to Din MIDI, with ease)
and vice versa (to all instruments)
all at the same time!
everything can be master or slave
shipping worldwide.
there you go! I made a Video which covers the Basics of USB midi Sync and a custom made linux image.
you can buy this and get rid of most cable clutter.
