In reply to Rthee.

Is the reason why down to latency?

From what little I understand about this, if the host connection’s a midi-master that introduces latency over USB then it’s suboptimal compared to the old 5 pin din connector. Therefore adding the usb option raises the cost (extra parts & programming) for a less effective connection.

I’ve tried using Ableton as a sequencer for a bunch of hardware synths connected via USB & it wasn’t as nice as using a standalone sequencer with din cables. Computer was a MacBook Pro M2, so my processor wasn’t the issue.

If/when software latency’s resolved midi-over-usb would be amazing.

This looks incredible, 20 LFOs, 20 envelopes, feedback loops, morphing patches…

Really keen to hear this in action by regular users & reviewers. Erica’s been making some of the most interesting gear of the past few years. Might have to risk divorce blow my savings on the Hexdrums, Steampipe, Ninja Delay & this.

Wish it had usb over midi, well if I am super wishing, I wish it had a plugin editor vst for full easy recall or even usb over audio like over bridge so I could just run it as an insert in my daw like I do my analog heat.
