Help! USB host sync to Roland MC101

S2400
1

Hi all,

I’m trying to hook my mc101 up to my s2400 via the USB host port. All I would really like to do is send start/stop messages in order to synchronise playback for resampling.

Works fine with MIDI DIN, happy days, with USB host however absolutely nothing. I have tried every setting combination that I can think of and now it’s time to consult the wise hive mind of the isla forums :slight_smile:

Any suggestions? Any mc 101 users out there? Is there any USB host quirks that I’m not getting?

Thanks in advance

Louis

I have a Jupiter x and I had the same thing happen with usb, my solution was to get a midi Y cable to get an additional midi out for a td3, instead of using usb

Thanks a lot for the input. I’ve just about reached the same conclusion. USB is best saved for syncing to computer and a MIDI router / splitter is the way to go. I’m pursuing the leanest possible setup with as few connections as pos and that was clouding my judgement a bit! :sweat_smile: thanks again for the help
