Topic: ARC USB midi oddity when connected to computer
Hello,
I've used the ARC USB with a UFX+ for a while. Now I need to use it with a UFX which does not have the built-in usb port for the remote so I plugged it directly into the computer and it functions correctly. Midi monitor indicates a large quantity of midi messages passing through the computer which concerns me, I'm not sure whether that's going to be detrimental to performance. I recognize midi is low bandwidth and Activity Monitor's cpu usage fluctuations are not obvious as far as I can tell.
- Approximately 50 midi messages per second continuously from the ARC USB.
- MacOS 10.12.6
- UFX driver 3.14
- In the ARC commands of TotalMix I attempted to disable various things but that does not affect the stream of midi messages, it even does it without TotalMix or an RME interface attached.
Is this normal? Should I be concerned?
Thanks,
Hugh
