Hey all…
Wondering if anyone has experience getting a “better” USB hub than the Overhub to interface with their DAW… I bought an Overhub back in 2015-16, kinda without really knowing WHY i was getting it… really just thought it would be the “smoothest” for running my RYTM with my daw…
What i’m dealing with now is a physical distance issue (i think). I have the Overhub plugged into my PC, but my RYTM is about 8 feet away from the Overhub. I have a 10ft USB A to B cable going from the RYTM to the Overhub and the OverBridge software gets “stuck on stupid” – just says “measuring” all the time, does not actually recognize the RYTM for what it is.
However… If i bypass the Overhub and plug the RYTM directly into one of the USB ports on my computer, Overbridge will recognize it. I imagine this is a POWER issue, as i do NOT have an AC adapter powering the OverHub… (should have come with one!!! whats the damn point of even making it if you’re not selling it to people in a state that it can function at its full potential? come on, Elektron)
since the OverHub didn’t come with an AC adapter, i have two routes i can take to try to fix the issue. i can buy an AC adapter for the overhub, or i can get a different hub entirely. i saw this one on Amazon and it looks “beefy” as hell… if that can’t handle it, i don’t know what can.
just curious what other people have done when / if they have run into this same issue. i need to have a functional hub, because i have three OTHER devices that will go into it too, all three of which currently DO function fine on the Overhub… it’s just the Elektron gear that’s not working with the other Elektron gear (go figure)
