Topic: Connect 2 MIDI devices to RME FF802

Hi all!

Hope you're doing well!

I have the following MIDI devices:

- Native Instruments A25 (25 MIDI keyboard)
- Native Instruments Maschine Mikro (MIDI pad)

Both of the devices have a USB port.

I would like to connect them to the MIDI I/O of the FF802 and was wondering if there's any way to connect them at the same time.

I don't really care about using them at the same time but it would be really nice to avoid connections/disconnections, routings, etc.

I'm not really familiar with the MIDI world and planning a studio session with a customer that uses the aforementioned MIDI devices.

Any ideas? Is there a USB to MIDI converter/splitter or should I simply get a USB Hub and connect everything to Mac?

Takis,

without knowing what your final goal is, it is not possible to give you the right tipps.
MIDI piping/routing is possible between virtual and physical devices.

However, you have to make sure all 3 devices are connected to your mac at the same time, if you want to use them however without plugging cables in/out. (Dont know how many USB Ports you have on Mac).

A concrete example what you want to do, would be helpful to understand.
