Is it possible to hook up 2 Midi Maestro’s to make it act as if it was a single 12 button unit?
Example: I have one unit at the moment which is programmed to control Bias FX2. Due to limited switches, I have to program page switching to access buttons I can’t fit on one page. Will hooking into a 2nd MM allow me 12 buttons per page?
Hey there,
Yep, you could technically hook up as many as you like to your MIDI chain, we just suggest you place them all at the beginning of the chain.
Thanks for the question!
Awesome, If that’s the case, I may envision an entire board filled with MM’s, lol!
Keep in mind the more devices in a chain the higher the latency as it passes through each additional unit, since MM sends no clock this is likely not a huge issue especially if only one more is added
Hey! Sorry for the ignorance but I’m struggling to get my midi maestro to connect to Bias FX 2 Mobile. Are you using the mobile to the desktop version? And would you mind lending any tips or tricks so that I can get my rig up and running. Thanks!
Here’s another take on the same question:
Is it possible to use 2 midi maestros at once, and use one footswitch+ to change pages on both midi maestros simultaneously?
I’m trying to set up an ableton footswich system for a friend, and migrating from the world of the now defunct liquid foot…and she’s wanting to have all 12 pedals available to her at once and then use the footswitch+ to change from one page to another, for all 12 buttons at the same time.
If anybody knows, I’d love some pointers!
Thanks in advance
Hello,
The footswitch can only control the page switch of one MIDI Maestro, the one that it is connected to. However, you can switch pages in custom mode using the redirect option.
You’d need a custom pedal for that. Basically both footswitches would be double switches meaning that they affect two isolated circuits. Then you’d just connect it to the two Maestros and voila it works
