H90 MIDI over USB

[radiation360]

Should the H90 be able to receive MIDI over USB?  I’m using a Morningstar MC8, which can send via either standard 5-pin MIDI or USB.  If I send a PC message over the 5-pin it works, but over USB I get nothing.  Is this something that just isn’t implemented yet?  5-pin cables are extremely bulky and I’d much prefer to be able to use USB.

Hello radiation360,

Yes, the H90 can receive MIDI messages via USB so long as the MIDI controller is acting as a USB Host device. The Morningstar MC8 is NOT a USB host device like the new MC6 Pro is. This may be the source of the problem.

Well that’s a bummer (about the MC8), but thanks for the clear response – looks like I’ll have to replace my under-board hub.

Same here with Blackstar live logic controller. Does not work via USB.

Is this the same problem?

If yes… someone can recommend a controller for less money?
