M-Audio Midisport 4x4 and A6/Cubase

[rh2y]

Hi all... just wondered if anyone else has run into this.

I recently bought an M-Audio MidiSport 4x4 to add some more midi ports
to my setup. If I run my A6 into it, recording midi data in Cubase Studio 4, Cubase will lock up if I send too much midi data (ribbon and pitch wheel simultaneously will cause it almost every time).

I have the Midi Thinning set to 2. I could try going to 1 or "Thin", but I like the resolution that 2 gives me. Going to "1" is a just-perceptible graininess, and I haven't tried "Thin".

I plugged the A6 into my Presonus Firebox's midi port, and it works just fine on Midi Thinning 2, so I believe I will simply leave it at that, and use the MidiSport for my less-midi-data-intensive synths for now.

Just wondered if anyone else has run into that, and if there is a better 4 or 5 port midi interface that can handle high midi data volume without crashing. MOTU Microlite?

I managed to take a day off work today, so I'm up in the studio working on a couple simple tracks. I have to say, the A6 and Blofeld are two great synths that sound great together!

i have an old motu midinterface and they work great, in timing and sysex/ controller things. defintively worth the money i guess.

I have a Motu Fastlane and its been working flawlessly. Before i got the Motu I had an M-Audio Uno and I had nothing but problems with it. In my opinion M-Audio is to be avoided at all costs.
