I´m a proud owner of a Midi Fighter Twister since a couple of days. I really love the device but I have a question: Whenever I try to plug the Twister into the USB-hub with the other controllers (two X1s), my audio totally crashes. My setup is:
A&H Xone DB2
2x X1s
1x Midi Fighter Twister
Macbook Pro 13" Early 2015
When I plug in the Twister on a single USB port, everything works fine but I´d rather have my mixer in a solo USB port and all the controllers in the hub. The hub is also powered, so theres no issue in the power supply… Does anyone have the same problem or a solution?
i think the problem could be the power supply of your hub.. every controller takes about 500mha… so if your power supply doesn’t have at least of 1.5 mhA output power you could have this kind of problems.
Unfortunately, the problem also accurs when I plug in just one X1 with the Twister. It even occurs when I plug in my DB2 in the hub with the Twister and the other controllers in another hub on another port. Obviously the DB2 does not draw any power from the usb connection and it still drops out completely
I tested it with two different USB hubs already, which both work absolutely fine… except in this setup, it seems Very very strange problem and I can’t seem to find a similar case on the internet
It’s likely a bandwidth/power issue with that particular hub since you have two other ones that work fine. I would use a powered hub whenever possible, especially when using three controllers that all have LED feedback.
A powered hub is always recommended. I use nothing else and have yet to encounter unsolvable problems with my two powered hubs. My workstation is in another room.
