Multiple MIDI controllers MPC One

Can I connect say a MidiMix and MicroKeys controller to the MPC One at the same time?

Tried with simple USB hub and it did not work. Would a USB Midi host be an option?

Is it a powered USB hub?

if it doesnt work via a usb hub my bet is no. you can only do it with one usb controller..

or indeed get a usb to midi converter and put one of them in the midi input

I connected two USB QWERTY KEYBOARD using a TRENDNET TK207K KVM switch. I'll try using two Akai Fire's and see if they work.

To me the usb midi converters/hosts seem to have one usb port only. In this case to the mpc. Would you mean also using usb to midi cables to connect keys and mixers to host?

The TWO Akai Fires over a KVM switch does not work.

Fair enough, thanks for checking!

Was able to map a Denon DN-HC1000S and the Akai Fire at the same time. So using the MidiMix and MicroKeys at the same may work.
