Looking for a Multi-TT USB Hub in the UK

[djrickdawson]

I have started to try and get to grips with using ableton in a live situation, and have found that I need a USB hub to make things work.

having read the articles and comments on DJTT I need a Multi-TT type of hub.

The thing is... I cannot find one in the UK.

any help?

I've gone through this before... there seem to be hardly any out there, and even when you do find a model with a multi TT chip in it, often if you research further you will find that it's not actually operating as multi TT anyway.
My conclusion was that so few people are actually using them that I'm not sure they're even needed.

What you planning to plug into it?

I got mine fairly cheap from ebay before christmas.

I have an Expedit Ikea unit which is on castors at right angles to my main desk, and I have added a shelf using the angled supports
I will add a couple of other shelves that will have various controllers on it as I expand.
at the moment I want to put my ipad and mobile on charge, to reduce the number of mains power sockets needed, along with a Korg NanoKontrol2, Original Novation LaunchPad, my custom controller (using the UMC-32 from www.HaleMicro.com) and maybe a USB light?

Having a hub on this mobile unit will reduce the number of cables to the main desk. (along with the 5pin Din and a power cable from my music keyboard)

I bought this hub in November and it shows up in Task Manager as a Multi-TT hub, although I haven't tested it with any USB 1.1 devices. Is there a proper way of verifying it as MTT?

makar1:
looks like it could be the solution

you say task manager, or did you mean device manager?

I like the fact there are 2 ports that will do 1.2 amp charging too (iPad and mobile) better than the mains charger I have at the moment... 1.5 on one port with a low 500ma on the other output.

What windows software is provided with it for iOS (iPad) sync?

what do you connect to it?

[makar1]

Sorry yes, device manager. I haven't used any software for the hub.

I've been using it for my CDJs, DJM, and X1 so far.

[djrickdawson]

so it can take a lot through then

unless any other options come up it looks ideal.

[djrickdawson]

I've ordered it.
I hope I get the right version...
Going by the reviews and info, there are 2 versions "A" and "B1" iirc

Mine's version C1
