USB Hub problems with multiple controllers?

Just make sure you get the USB Hubs that have a processor for each available port (multi-TT) and of course it has to be powered. That way there shouldn’t be too much problems. Apart from the tow channel audio stream, all that goes over the USB connection is Midi data and that is a relatively low load. So the USB bandwidth shouldn’t be a problem, even with 4 devices hooked up.

Hi,

TT (Transaction Translator) is like a little processor. Single-TT has one TT regardless of the number of ports, multi-TT have one TT per port. This is not very important if ALL your equipment is USB 2.0 or higher. But there are still controllers out there running on USB 1.1. Single-TT hubs will then bring the speed down, where as multi-TT will run each port at it’s maximum speed.

If you are sure you don’t have USB 1.1 devices and never will, then any hub (powered) will do. Otherwise get a multi-tt to be on the safe side.

You might have to search a little online and perhaps even buy it online.

That is probably how I would set it up. One dedicated USB port for all the outgoing sound, the other for all the midi data thru a hub.
