Midi Fighter Pro Beatmasher

[ADJS]

I am very keen to buy the Midi Fighter Pro Beatmasher.
However it is powered by USB.
I am running a 15" Macbook Pro.
Both USB ports are being used.
One by an Audio 4 DJ and the other by my VCI-100.
I am happy with these but really want to introduce the Beatmasher Midi Fighter Pro.
Any advice appreciated.

You can always use a powered USB Hub to have more USB ports available.

Yeah that was my immediate thought.
I tried it a while back and it did not work.
Maybe the powered hub itself was the problem as is a pretty old one.
I bought a new usb powered hub yesterday and is all apples now.
Working fine. Thanks
Bring on the Midi Fighter Beatmasher!

Word of caution: I have a pretty similar setup like yours and the the combination of putting the MBA to sleep with the self-powered USB somehow fried the logic board. I was able to have it replaced for free but since then I am making sure to shutdown instead of sleep and I also unplug the self-powered USB hub when not in use.
