Hi Gabriel, Hi Dave,
thanks for your replies and your help.

To cut it short, it is the USB to MIDI Cable.

With other Devices in my mate's studio (Keyboards, Drum Machines etc.) there are no problems. But sometimes I take the Monotribe home to work out some new stuff and I'm doing it here with my Notebook and Ableton Live. That's the reason why I got this USB to MIDI Cable.

As Gabriel mentioned, I will try an active USB Hub and get back here as soon I have tested it.

Until then, big thanks again to you guys and keep rocking the MIDITRIBE.

oops

Ralf.

Hi there Ralf!

I would be interested to see if the USB-Midi lead works with a powered hub... I could actually use mine again smile

Although, I bought it to use with my laptop and avoid hubs, but it would be good to at least get it working!

Hi everyone,

We started R & D for our next product, the NastyMono, we would be glad to hear people's opinion about it. We just created this thread to discuss our currently "Under Development" products, check this out:

Hi there,

now I have tested an active USB Hub with the USB to MIDI Cable and still no luck.

So it seems that USB to MIDI Cables are not compatible with MIDITRIBE.

@Gabriel: Do you have a good cheap tip, how I can use the MIDITRIBE with my Notebook's USB Ports? I know that my mate's using an Alesis Sound-Station, but I don't want to put that much effort because I only want the MIDITRIBE to synchronise with Ableton Live on my Notebook.

Cheers,
Ralf

Hi Gabriel!

I have a late 2008 MacBook. I use an Ultralite Mk.I that is powered directly from the laptop FW port. Everything is running perfect wth the MidiTribe - it just works!

The USB ports on the Macbook both output the usual 5v so Im not sure why my USB-Midi only works when it feels like it!

Hope this helps!
Dave

Hi Gabriel!

Im very sorry mate - I wont be much help here... My Ultralite is the Mk.I so it is only Firewire Im afraid. It is the older one and does not have USB. Also, the USB-Midi is one of those REALLY cheap unbranded ones floating about.

Here is a picture of the exact model:

Sorry I couldnt be any more help but if it makes any difference, I am a VERY happy MidiTribe customer smile

Yippiiiieeeehhh!!!! hihi

I finally got my MIDITRIBE sychronised with my Notebook.

Gabriel, you can put the miditech MIDIFACE 2x2 on your compatibility list:

http://www.miditech.de/site.php4?site_id=144

Works perfectly with Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate. Just plug and play, no special driver or software installation needed. In Ableton Live, it's called "Midilink" and "MIDIOUT2 (Midilink)".

Everything works, synchronisation and programming.

Now, i will play around a little bit. cool

If I'll have any questions concerning the programming of MIDITRIBE in Ableton Live, can I ask this forum here too?

Til then,
Ralf

Hi mates!

I installed the MIDITRIBE interface on my Monotribe, it rules! Really professional; well packed, looks very nice, well done Amazing Machines!!

I have just one question, but not easy to formulate; actually I have a AKAI XR20, a nice little beatbox which has a MIDI connection, so the best solution for me to synchronize the Monotribe is rather via the XR20 than KP3 (in terms of ergonomy) but here's my little problem;

When I plug the Miditribe to the XR20, the tempo is doubled: to obtain 120Bpm I have to enter 60Bpm, for 160; 80, etc.
which is a problem because if I want to use the note repeat I have to double also the value (and it's not infinite of course!).

So what can I do even on the Monotribe or the XR20 to synchronize the two machines on the same BPM value?

Here we are. Sorry if the question's stupid but I don't really know anything usefull about MIDI smile

(I already searched into the XR20 MIDI option)

Thanks again for the Miditribe solution,
Big up!!

Best regards from France.

I just came across this great MIDITRIBE I/O video review from SonicState and thought I'd post it here.

In the video it is mentioned that you plan to make the MIDITRIBE I/O available through stores. Do you have any more info on that already?
