Best midi host/hub/interface for my DAWless setup?

I’ve been trying to build a DAWless setup similar to taetro’s portable setup . I am trying to make my ableton move the master clock that feeds the tempo to the zoom L6 mixer (for delay effects) and the sp404mk2, all while being able to control the ableton move with my akai midi controller. Whats the best midi hub? and which are the best connection cables considering the type of cables I’ll need? (USB c vs. 3.5mm trs vs. USB a vs. 5 pin)

As for audio flow, I want to feed the ableton move and the seperate sound module of the Akai mpk play mini into the L6 mixer along with other instruments, then use the aux send channel(s) to feed to the sp404 for live sampling, effects, misc sounds and samples to then feed back into the mixer to a front of house mixer. What problems could I run into trying this audio flow?

Any and all feedback is appreciated as someone who had strictly used laptop and DAW for almost everything I’ve made for the past 7 years.

Humble instrumental album made with PO-33

Just released a small instrumental album, mostly boom bap stuff, all done with a PO-33. Thought I’d share it here 🙂

I built a companion app for the KO2 called PunchKit (but many features also work with the any USB device (punch effects, recorder)) (or just point it to use a folder of your own recordings/takes), and released it for free for a limited time. Would be happy to hear your thoughts!

Hey everyone, I’ve been building an iOS app for the TE EP series called PunchKit and figured this would be the great place to share it.

https://preview.redd.it/6zwzd7zhpvah1.png?width=1158&format=png&auto=webp&s=7958e30bc1599d241b5481b318e50ed46bdb7b75

The basic idea is: keep the hardware workflow, but make the boring/fragile parts easier. You can connect your EP to your iPhone, record USB audio takes, play/scrub/share them, trim and bake them, “Punch It” to cook down live effect performances (a bunch of filters and tunable LoFi effects), send processed audio back to pads or the sample library, and back up projects/takes so they’re not only living on the device.

It’s not trying to replace the KO II. It’s more like a companion for capturing ideas, resampling quickly, and keeping a safer archive of projects when you’re moving between sessions.

App Store link:

Website:
https://punchkit.dev/

Would love feedback from other EP users, especially around the take workflow, project backups, and what you’d want from a phone-based companion app.

The REC view should work with any connected USB audio device, so you can try out the effects and all that good stuff even if you don't have a KO2.
Cheers!

How to open an .iso file of Roland L-CD1? CDxtract doesn't work.

How do I open an .iso file of Roland L-CD1? CDxtract doesn't work. I can't just open the .iso file directly, it's detected as "invalid". Even an nrg file I found has the same issue when I open it with Daemon Tools.

I miss my Emax SE HD so much....help me find a modern equivalent.

I bought it in 2013 for $180. I hate myself for selling it.

I have a feeling nothing modern will scratch the itch...but here it goes anyway.

I miss the simplicity and stripped down workflow of just setting the range, pitching up, sampling and playing. With the retrofitted SD card I built up a huge library and it was essentially my rompler for everything.

Is there anything that can get me:

12-bit (even faked)

Large capacity patch storage

Same sampling workflow

I have a Lofi-12 XT..it's ok but I don't really enjoy the browser.

Can the Polyend Tracker Mini be a.good option? How is the UI if it were to just be used as an instrument sampler and storing/recalling patches?

Completely clueless, please guide me: What do I want?

I am a bassist in an instrumental doom metal band, but I want to start introducing samples as sort of a replacement for vocals. Probably just like one or two ~90 second samples per song, setlist would be about 2 or 3 songs.

While form factor is important, I'm also really concerned about ease of use. I am not a tech/computer guy. I have a macbook that I open like maybe once a month. I'm imagining a kind of device where I just connect with a usb cable to my laptop, and then I just like drag and drop mp3 files into slots of some kind of software. That's how samplers work, right?

Regarding who will operate it, I was thinking we could maybe put it by the drum set and let the drummer do it, since I think I've seen other bands doing that. Though I suppose I am open to some kind of stomp box type sampler that I could operate with my foot while I'm playing.

I live in Japan, and generally only purchase used music gear from Yahoo! Auctions. So I'm not sure what will be available, but if you have any recommended styles, brands, or even specific samplers, I'm all ears. Regarding budget, I try to keep most purchases under 50,000 yen, but you can often find some really good shit on Yahoo Auctions for that amount. If I could spend less than that, I definitely would prefer not to spend my max budget.
