I use IConnectMidi4 at home and live for the redundant system, everything works fine except I cannot get the Novation Launchpad to send to both system. I see the ‘rectangle’ on both computers but they won’t move and they wont send any midi. I’m thinking it might have to do with the crappy Novation’s Automap… Any thoughts about that?

wht does the mio do over the iconnectmidi4+, it looks like it is the same price but does less from what I am seeing – I have the 4+ at home and it is a beast.

starts of with “this is not expensive” followed by “i have TWO laptops”

In reply to sparkle.

my problem in making redundant ableton setups is that link doesn’t currently support song position… might not matter in the case above, .. but does in some scenarios ….

wouldnt using Ableton link keep both computers in sync ?

a control keyboard with 2 midi outs e.g novation sl would save need for mio4 .

however , doesnt having a single control keyboard +-midi interface , single SW8 still leave you susceptible to single parts of your system going wrong & ruining your performance ?

thanks for your attention

thanks for your attention. / redundant… in case you missed the first .

We use the Radial to auto switch. Run SMPTE into Input 8. There is an Auto Switch on RP. Provide tone (SMPTE) on either a separate channel or on CH 1. When tone disappears ( computer crash) the SW8 switches to back up. Great solution.

I’m self employed and sometimes I think about making myself redundant.

Cool, but it seems to not work with Ableton PUSH as controller. Anybody get an idea how to get an ableton push rig redundant?

cool post, isn’t it bad running mtc over the same line as note/controller information?
