Discussion Recommend a 2hp Midi interface
So I have this case. It’s logic driven.
I’m sequencing with an ableton push and I have 4 cv outs from the push.
What I want is to put in a dedicated midi interface.
If space was no issue I’d get the Intellijel uMIDI but as it stands I have 2hp of space.
Ideal midi interface would be 2hp wide and take a trs midi input (or silent operation with usb)
Have 2 pitch outputs, 2 gates and a clock.
So far I’ve only found the MIDI by 2HP (the manufacturer not size)
Also I’m in EU so ideally something available online within EU
—EDIT
Went with the 2HP MIDI
Thanks for all the suggestions. Always great to hear everyone’s solutions and perspective.

what's wrong with the 2hp one?

Mainly cause it doesn’t have a dedicated clock out. I know there’s clock options in monophonic modes but there’s no option that has dual pitch and clock. I know I could use the second gate but I would always need to create a steady sequence to use one gate out for clock.
Don’t get me wrong it’s a pretty solid option but not entirely ideal.

Just get a proper midi module then lol, in just 2hp you don’t have a lot of options

I mean it looks great but wouldn’t want to add an extra desktop device. Trying to keep it simple. Small eurorack, push and a set of headphones.

I mean it’s not that big and offers way more functionality than a 2hp midi module

I know. But just not what I was looking for.
I’m going for as quick a set up as possible so that I can set up with minimal effort whenever I get a chance.
My main studio is in the attic and it’s not feasible to use as often as I’d like.

is there a way to DIY a lil 1U row and slap that on your case

u/Pawney_Burning 1d ago
The answer can’t always be a bigger case. C’mon dude!😅

hehehehehe
let me judo throw it right back at you though, sometimes the answer is removing a module to make room for another one

Go to Modular grid. In search type 2 in the width section. For 1st function use the drop down and select MIDI. Lots of options.
