iConnectivity mioXL MIDI Interface - any users?

Ah nice.

Are you both sequencing from Laptops using software sequencers in a DAW? Sounds pretty cool

Yyup my laptop 1 triggered the notes and laptop 2 modulating cutoff. So many ways you can do things. I collab alot with different routing scenarios from session to session and the xl has really shown its versatility for sure.

Well my Hapax is here but the mioXL will be another week.

Regarding the Hapax ā€œVirtual Cablesā€. Do these 16 cables pop up in the Auracle software for then mapping to the MioXL DIN / USB destinations?

Just trying to plan things in advance with my Excel spreadsheet :slight_smile:

In this post from @innerclock I’m surprised how much more poorly MioXL DIN ports 5-8 perform compared to 1-4.

There ~10x more jitter and skew on the last four ports compared to the first four.

Anybody know what’s going on here?

Keep in mind those measurements are in μs (=1/1000 ms). If you magnify something enough you’re always going to find interesting patterns. For DIN MIDI half a millisecond of jitter doesn’t seem very bad. If you play 2 notes on exactly the same moment there will be more jitter due to the limited bandwidth.

Thanks – I’m aware of the time scales involved but I’m curious about the very obvious difference in performance between the blocks of ports.

On the face of it, it would seem like some engineering design issue when you have that much discrepancy between sets of ports.

One set of very well performing ports and another block of ports with 10x more jitter could very well be a source of hair pulling when trying to get tight sync between lots of MIDI instruments.

Yes. But you can only name and reserve 10 ports on the mioXL.

Probably the jitter has something to do with the way the DSP of the mio device is wired. Different ports can have different hardware behind them.

You keep stating ā€˜10x more jitter’ while you can also say the worst performing ports are working fine and some ports are even more stable.
Half a millisecond is generally not problematic because sending a few notes at the same time will randomly vary the exact timing much more.
