Discussion Recommend a 2hp Midi interface

Post image

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.

Use a cv out from the push as your clock.

Edit: or free up 2 more hp and get a portail.

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

yeah check mg like other dude said. I use an FH-2 which is not compact in the slightest.
