Rob... You are soooo cool to have created this useful set of devices/software... Amazing site/products! YOU ROCK!
I need 3 piano pedals, 2 orchestral controllers for expression and volume, plus who knows what down the line...
Use idea #1 is as follows...I can use 2 MIDI Expression iO's for going to usb/computer to use: 3 piano pedals + 2 foot controllers for orchestral expression and volume, leaving me an open slot for whatever (trems/waw/wtf). I use to have loads of midi gear but donated it all and am virtual now so I just need the MIDI to daisychain... This will give me 6 inputs
Or use idea #2,,, I was thinking I can get two Quatros and use two usb inputs (my VastMaschine has extras) or a usb hub for my laptop... seems that would eliminate any midi latency as I'm planning on getting an 8 input usb 3.1 or C hub for my laptop which can easily handle the 2 Quatro usb 1 inputs... This will give me 8 inputs!
Ultimately, I guess there is an option #3 if I wanna preserve a "midi" in/out for some legacy gear (my Focusrite Forte DAW interface has no midi)get one of each, for a total of 7 inputs+1midi in/out...
Seems straightforward with your awesome stuff... nothing like it out there! Am spreading this around... Thanks!!!
BTW, my username should be vastman... I guess the vAmfbd (prove ur not a robot??? got in there by me being half asleep... can this be changed?
Thanks again for being a solution to my problem!
