Midi Fighter USB Hub Compatible?
Midi Fighter USB Hub Compatible? Posted on: 07.02.2013 by Jeni Jeter Hi everyone,I have had my Midi Fighter Pro Beatmasher for quite some time now and i just upgraded to the DN-X1600 which required a usb port on the computer (not USB Hub compatible). Since i am running a Macbook Pro which only has 2 usb ports, i am using one for the DN-X and one for the hub. I have tried plugging the MF into the hub, but its not being recognized. I am wondering if there is any solution to this? Thanks! | |

| Claire Auyeung 09.02.2013 | Powered USB hubs always gave me more trouble than non-powered hubs, like not being able to update firmware, added signal noise, connection issues etc. So after trying lots of different hubs and cables, I ended up using this very small non-powered hub with a powered Y-cable, so I don't need any power adapter.

It's true you should use the same USB ports whenever you can, But I also try to boot it to the same device number every time, So I use a specific hold sequence for booting. |

Oh ya... and i you need customer support, its not like talking to a man from india who doesnt tell you how to fix it by asking "Did you use System Restore?" This is the best hub out there right now for our kind of thing Shop for it on google or go directly to the company site https://www.google.com/shopping/prod...d=0COYBEPMCMAg Company site http://www.tripplite.com/en/products...xtModelID=3167 |

| Latoria Kavulich 09.02.2013 | that happens to me all the time. bloody annoyin' in fact, you inspired me to label the ports on the hub with a marker just then, churr. |
| Libbie Orion 09.02.2013 | also please keep in mind the way the hub's sperate ports send a signal is relative to which one the 3D is plugged into and setup on **Yea that sounds confusing right*** well let me simplify that for you. On Some Machines: if you plug in your 3D to a pwrd USB HUB, and the hub has say 7 slots in it, you need to make sure you ALWAYS from the start have the 3D plugged into the exact same port each time or the computer might not recognize it and youll have to do the install again. There is a signal (somewhere in the chain) that is sent to the computer the HUB is plugged into, that tells the machine: (Activity presented from HUB @ port H1, or H2, or H3......H7) |
| Adolf Hit 08.02.2013 | Hey Diioh123, It will work fine as long as the HUB is powered, if the HUB is not powered it cannot supply enough power for the LEDS and the device could occasionally reset. |
| Jeni Jeter 07.02.2013 | No its not. But i do have a powered hub also so ill give that a shot. Thanks! |
| Latoria Kavulich 07.02.2013 | is it a powered hub? i run my x1600 and mf3d off the hub no worries. |
