GovernorSilver Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 When I first heard of this thing I had some difficulty visualizing how it would be used, beyond what is available with "normal" MIDI hubs https://blokas.io/midihub/ Finally somebody posted a video explaining how they're using the Blokas [video:youtube] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Williams Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Looks like a winner -- nice input count, versatile processing treatments, good price range. Decades ago I bought an MX-8 from Digital Music Corp with similar features -- and all on an two rows of 16 characters! For me, the usefulness of a MIDI processor is inversely proportional to the usefulness of the MIDI controller(s) going in -- If the controller is sufficiently versatile, the processing is less important than routing / merging. (One exception: smart data filtering, e.g., stemming off a flood of aftertouch CC's.)

GovernorSilver Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Ambient music featuring the Blokas. Excerpt from the description: "Midihub by Blokas Labs is an intelligent MIDI hub. It goes beyond simply merging and splitting MIDI signals; in this track the Zoia plays the same simple sequence over and again, but each time through the Midihub is adding delays and randomly re-pitching notes. Each track has a separate pipeline on the Midihub, and at the end of the track I have a Random module which selectively drops notes. I can adjust the probability of a note being dropped using the Faderfox." [video:youtube] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
