Absolutely fantastic little device

Me and my partner in music have been experimenting with our live setup for the past few months, and while working with hardware only, there are almost no problems with syncing the devices through a long daisy chain, our real culprit came when we wanted to use Ableton Live in combination with the hardware. Ableton's clock out is so extremely unreliable, that it is almost near impossible to sync your external gear to it on a steady basis. I then started to look for external midi clock modules, only to find that most of the products were quite limited and very expensive none the less. Then, one day, I stumbled across the Midihub.



Boy, am I glad I did. After some thinking, and reading reviews, I decided that for this money, it would be very hard to be dissapointed by the product, and all the reviews seemed positive, so I took the shot.



Three days later, it arrived (I live in Holland, so I was pleasantly surprised by this fast shipping. After some thinking, we decided to make the Midihub the heart of our setup, disabling Ableton's internal clock, and setting it up so it received the same clock signal as all our hardware. This meant that we only had to adjust the clock in latency to - a couple of milliseconds, to make up for the buffer size latency.



After we finished this step, all worked perfectly. No more jitter, no more weird start points, no more endlessly adjusting the midi clock out latency.



It. Works. Flawlessly.



Everyone that ever tried to jam live, but stumbled against the unfortunate sync problems: buy this device. It will be worth the (little) amount of money that you'll pay for it, and you support an inventive, independent guy who makes some awesome stuff.



Thanks!!!
