Members Vbrook Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hi, I just (today) bought a stage piano for my newish home studio. It has a USB port to connect to a computer and use with a sequencer (Cubase). I have an audio interface with only one midi in/out, and it's taken. And, it would be really convenient to connect the stage piano to Cubase via usb. My question is, would I run the risk of MIDI timing issues somewhere down the line? Essentially, I would have two midi interfaces connected to my computer. One via firewire (my audio interface) and one via USB (the stage piano). A colleague of mine says no problem running the piano via USB, but I thought I'd check here for a second opinion. Some years ago, MIDI via USB was basically asking for trouble. I'm not sure whether that's changed or not. Thanks for any advice. Brooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TimOBrien Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 MIDI just doesn't care.... I've got an AlesisQS8.2 hooked up with a MidisportUSB2x2, a Keystation49 hooked up by its own USB, and on my 828mkII I use the midi for a windsynth vl70-m box and a FCB1010 foot controller. All midi needs to know is what track or device is coming off of what port. (Remember that MIDI was designed in the days of >>8MHz computers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
