I have an MPC One and I plan to use it as a master sequencer/clock for 12 synths and drum machines. I have a 7 port usb hub and it’s maxed out with various synths, and the midi out is controlling the transport, clock and program changes of 4 elektron boxes.
First Question:
2.8 MPC gives us access to 32 Usb instruments, but I’m maxed out with my Single usb hub. Usb midi doesn’t support thru, so how would you connect more then 7 instruments on MPC Ones single usb port?
Second Question:
I have limited studio time and can’t really run tests so I wanna know of I’m gunna hit a sloppy midi timing wall if I start going to town with midi events and automation, etc.
Third Question:
IF the answer to 2 is yes, would a MPC X with 2 USB 3.0 ports (compared to One’s single 2.0 port) alleviate that issue. I ask cause what I’ve read it doesn’t sound like the X’s os is optimized for all the additional MIDI ins and outs.
Tl/dr: would the X provide noticeable improvements over the One in regards to MIDI timing and sync when controlling 12 pieces of external gear?
Thank you for bearing with me!
