#Connect as a USB Midi Client via USB-C, when used with a USB Midi Host.

At the moment it is tricky to send midi messages between move and USB Midi Host devices, such as ipads, iphones, androids, macs or PCs. It would be helpful if the Move could be a USB client via USB-C, on top of being a USB host on the USB-A midi port.

#

There are two Midi ports visible when you connect via USB-C. Live Port and User Port, but neither react to midi messages at this time. Will that be added in the future?!

#

I have resorted to a hacky fix for the time being by using two raspberry pi pico as a usb host to host adapter. that way i can control the move, through the usb-A port on the back, with midi apps on the ipad

#

that works for now 🙂

#

but an official update would be preferrable of course

#

in case anyone wnats to do the same 🙂

This is my version of the host to host Adapter using 2 Pi Pico

Interesting, and great to hear that it works. We have built a very similar custom adapter like this ourselves, but for internal testing purposes only. However, due to liability reasons, we can't officially document or endorse this.

Yeah I get it. This is more for the hacky DIY community

Raspberry Pi Pico is great for this kind of purpose since it has USB host support from the get go. I've built a USB MIDI to DIN MIDI converter with it, so I can use smaller USB only keyboards for example with other DIN based gear.

As I wrote in another thread: you can use the older, discontinued iConnectivity MIO2/MIDI2+ and MIO4/MIDI4+ for that, since these allow connection of 2 computers (USB-B) and routing MIDI between them. The small ones go for low prices secondhand.
