      Does anyone here use the Sylphyo Link as an USB Host? I tried with my only USB synth, a Blofeld, and that does not work. Did not check the MIDI data, but sounds weird and notes get quickly stuck. Is it device dependent?

      Actually I have bad experience with USB hosts of this kind. I think I am better off to forget about this possibility and rather stick to DIN MIDI which works well. Right?

        Hi Peter,

        Have a look at the Blofeld manual and see what midi messages it can accept.
        If you let me know which Blofeld synth you have I'd be happy to have a look for you.

        Best,

          Blofeld Desktop.
          It accepts anything. Notes, Pitch Bend, Program Change, most Control
          Changes, Channel Pressure, Poly Pressure, SysEx and MIDI Clock.

            @peter-ostry Okay you should check which CC messages specifically it needs in order to control the different parameters of it. You can then program the Sylphyo to send these CC messages in the Midi Mapping section of the menu.

              Checked again and disabled the Sylphyo's movement CCs. Really cannot tell what is going on. Stuck notes, changing/losing the Sylphyo's internal sound (I mix with the Link's stereo input) and weird behavior overall. Turned everything off and on in different order – no change. Turned everything off, went back to direct MIDI connection and it worked fine.

              Never mind. I believe some devilish ghost in a parallel universe prevents me from using USB hosts. A Keith McMillen host did not work here. A Kenton USB host didn't. Why should the Link do. I blame the ghost ;-)

              MIDI over DIN works well, I will use this.
