I use X as master in standalone the same way.

Kronos2 (usb midi to powered hub)
Subsequent-37 (usb midi to powered hub)
Ipad (usb midi to powered hub)

Powered usb 3.0 hub to X (for midi)

This is the hub I use. Red port is charging only. It’s small, I zip-tied it to my kybd stands legs in back, It’s perfect

Nice. I've hooked my System 8, TR-8, and TB-3 up as well since 2.8 (all via USB MIDI), but lately I've been running my Live 2 in standalone with nothing connected. This video has inspired me to explore that again.
