I can confirm what @Jukka said, you can set up multiple clocks each with their own tempos and route them to different outputs. I just tried it and it works perfectly with the hardware.

Wow, thanks for the detailed response, I think Iāll definitely have to get one of these! I wonder how much they will cost when they start taking orders again.
I donāt even know what Iād do with half of those functions but I can feel that itāll all add up to something incredibly powerful!

Was looking around for a way to control the tempo of the internal Midihub clocks remotely ā like for instance a CC value or something. Looks like the Tempo of internal clocks are fixed.
I worked out a way that i think i can change the tempo from one value to another, by having a control key through Transform stop one clock and starting another, and another key doing the opposite.
But so far i havenāt figured out how to do an accelerando and ritardando to an internal clock. Obviously you could use an external clock for this.
EDIT: I figured it out ā yes you can do accelerando and ritardando. You use the map function to attach a parameter to a control.
NOTE: You need to be running the Midihub Editor live with a Midihub attached in order to make āmapā (in the editor) work. I still havenāt received the Midihub so this wasnāt obvious to me, but it is now. This makes all kinds of things so much easier.

Maybe this is something theyād consider adding, on that note. Have they said much on the future of this thing and itās firmware?
Does anybody know if I can easily change midi routing with this device? I have a keyboard and pads, and I may want to send that to either instruments I have. So I need 2 inputs going to either output 1, or output 2, easily switchable.
I could RTFM as well

Got this email from Blokas this morning. They are opening up orders for the Midihub.
Good news, everyone!
The wait is finally over 
and Midihub direct orders will open tomorrow at 12:00pm GMT! 
We are giving you a heads up as currently we have 300 Midihubs fully assembled, tested and ready to be shipped out 
and to be honest we donāt have the slightest clue how long the stock will last. 
And in the meantime we invite you to check out the new @SynthDad tutorial 
on how to use Midihub to create generative ambient music.

I think Iāll mostly likely be getting one, the range of control you have over the midi LFOās is enough to have me sold on one!
I have an mio10 which Iām currently using all the ports on so this thing alone wouldnāt be enough for studio so I wonder how Iāll combine the two togetherā¦ Seems like itāll be interesting!
They will be supporting it with improvements as necessary. In this case the Midihub can do an accelerando and ritardando so they donāt need to fix anything. I am still figuring things out with it (see my edit above), but the more i learn the more powerful i find this thing to be.
Perhaps you saw, they put a price up of ā¬164 .
Yes easily.
So, your mapping is to the editor software only while itās running, not something locally? As in, you canāt map it to internal parameters, and unplug from the editor? Mine arrives tomorrow!
No that should work (mine arrives soon too) itās just you need to have your configuration set up because it uses a āMIDI Learnā sort of system to map the connection ā so there is nothing to map, unless youāve got real stuff in configuration hooked up. Once itās mapped, it will remember that ā or so i would suppose, with me not actually having one.
Sounds more complicated than it really is when youāre using it.

This was my assumption as well. Really hoping thatās the case. There are so many mappings that are useful to get more out of the device. Especially simple things like adjusting LFO rate of the internal modulators. Cool! Itās going to be hard to concentrate on work this week with this thing arriving!
Yes placed my order just now, canĀ“t wait!

I just ordered one too, Iām excited as non BPM synced LFOās have been a very big part in my music lately and having these very flexible ones being sent separately from my sequencer will be very interesting! oh and the split tempo stuff is also very interesting to me!
Anyone got any ideas for what we could potentially suggest as future firmware upgrades?

I ordered also one, just after opening there was one gone. So its going fast. Iām planning to use it for OT duties.

Is it possible to block only specific CCs ?

YES ā From the Midihub Editor Context Help:
CC Range Filter
A modifier pipe that can discard or keep MIDI CC events in the desired ranges.
Both ends of the ranges are inclusive.
A single pipe can store up to 9 argument values which are shared for the interval ranges, as well as single values. In case of running out of space, a tooltip regarding it will get shown. If youād like to define more ranges, just put multiple Range Filter pipes in series.
Example Range
Filter Mod Wheel MSB and LSB, and Channel Mode messages:
1, 33, 120-127
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Bypass | Whether processing is enabled. |
| Drop in range | Whether to drop messages within any of the ranges. Disabling this would inverse the operation and make it keep messages within the ranges. |
| Ranges | A list of interval ranges and single values. See above for examples. |
=====================================================================
You can map the Bypass, and Drop in Range parameters to external control.
I see the use for mapping the control of Bypass, to turn the CC filter ON and OFF.
Iām scratching my head thinking how to use the inversion of which messages are Dropped. I suppose you could have two banks of CC messages that youād like to switch between in operation. Iām still scratching my head a little. Anyone else have a thought on this ?
By the way i love the ācan youā questions. Iām pretty sure the answer to most are yes, but itās good to actually work out the how. In my next post iām going to ask a ācan youā but itās probably a little more complicated, i need some help.
ADDED: The Context Help in the Midihub Editor is a very nice feature. It will help a lot, when making new patches. Even the graphics they use for pipes are helpful, because they are pretty clear to indicate each pipes function, so you can look at the āplumbingā (of pipes) and get an idea of what something will do.
ADDED: Idea ā What if you put a series of these in a row, each with different CCs to Drop, and then turned them individually (with Bypass) ON and OFF to change the operation of your synth from a midi stream. Would make for nice variations.

Midihub is here, I will connect:
- elektron digitakt (sequencer no1),
- arturia keystep (keys, sequencer no2),
- novation launchpad pro mk3 (pads, controller, sequencer no3)
- novation zero sl mk1 (optional general controller),
- Waldorf Blofeld
- Waldorf Pulse2.
- A PC for fx, mixer, overbridge etc.
Lets say we will need to start a master clock, maybe the keysterp or the digitakt. I am thinking of the keystep as the master because i will end up using only the midi out.
- Digitakt will use both midi i/o for the loopback tweak.
- Launchpad pro mk3 will connect to the PC for ableton live control but it will control both synths as well or even midihub it self via custom cc templates.
- Zero SL for what it can offer if connected at the end, could provide maybe some extra cc for anything, synths, midihub etc.
There is also a āKenton Midi Thru 5ā device, in order to provide some additional ports if ever needed.
So I guess I will have to build a basic preset for all those routes, and then evolve those routes with alternative pipe modifications ready to be used at will.
Ideal setup would expose every device to both synths, bypass the Digitaktās PB/MW/AT issue filtered out data (yes it does filter those messages out - cannot pass through midi i/o, and also cannot record them), and of course use the Digitaktās loopback tweak with all unused data filtered out in order to be safe from midi data overflows/errors.
Lets see where it goesā¦ if anyone have similar devices, lets expand the possibilities. Any idea can be useful ā¦
