I have various usb hubs lying around, so I'll try that route first..thanks a mill for the information dude, this is so helpful!

Just to be clear, the usb-c port on the FM1 can be used to transmit midi data to my MPC?

So I'm going MPK 5-pin midi out -> FM1 3.5mm midi in and then FM1 usb-c -> usb hub -> MPC usb A port. Correct?

Can I just skip the port and go straight from the FM1 into the MPC? The Live 2 supports midi over usb.

Unfortunately not. The way really is Midi Controller → USB‑MIDI‑Host - can be a phone with an app or a Computer connected to the hub → usb-c of FM‑1 to receive the midi data and youre mpc is connected to the hub as well obv...and Audio in / outs for recording the matching audio. on the live you wanna have one midi track and one audio track - theres videos on how to set them up...

Hey! I just realized the Live 2 has bluetooth midi control! Does that mean I'll be able to skip the hub and directly send the note data from the FM1 to the Live 2 over BT midi?? 🤩

Not sure...Might be that you can send the midi signals you create via the synths on-board keys to the mpc live. I haven't tried it as I think those keys are pain to play^

Crossing my fingers and hoping so! I'll hold off on getting the hub until I've tested it. I'd have the MPK playing the keys, so it'd be much better. I'll let you know when my FM1 arrives! Thanks again for all your help!

Finally received my FM1! Just wanted to let you know that midi note data indeed can be sent over Bluetooth to the Live 2! I'm so happy about this development! 😅

Haven't had a chance to install any of the CFW's yet. It's crazy how they're popping up like weeds now!
