I have been looking around for midi hubs actually. The one I was looking at was the MRCC 880 from Conductive Labs. They're locally designed and have some cool routing and switching features. The one you posted looks good, although it would be nicer with DIN connections i think. Looks nice and compact, though.
Nothing against the MRCC 880 or Conductive Labs -- I have an MRCC with the Remote 7 box and a NDLR (though I don't know anything about the MRCC 880 specifically) -- but in the realm of MIDI hub options, also take a look at Blokas Midihub: https://blokas.io/midihub/

I’m trying to give Benn the benefit of the doubt here, but the part where he conflates getting unacceptable abuse online with Loopop getting pushback for cheerleading genocide and posting openly fascistic and racist propaganda has me struggling to take his concerns seriously.

Just like how we need to talk about Uli’s purported antisemitism and how we shouldn’t support it with our dollars, but discussion of giving Elon Musk money is somehow off limits.

That lopop comment really gave me pause but it just reminded me that Benn ain't no saint and has dumb opinions of his own.

I don't think that invalidates the point that the internet is toxic as gently caress and anyone trying to put anything out there it going to get poo poo on for it. Dude just wants to have fun making videos and the mental baggage that comes from haters drains the enjoyment out of all of it.

Stop bothering. gently caress Benn Jordan for Spitfire apologia a god damned year ago, man has worked with trans people before such as cashing multiple event checks i wrote a gorillion years ago. this gives me enough reason to believe he's a spineless prick hiding gross views.

You may be conflating “pushback” with calling someone “<insert nationality> scum”. Assuming Benn’s pro bombings because he’s anti people yelling at each other all the time is a bit of a leap.

Benn is repeatedly minimizing pushback against the way folks use their platforms. Same as with Spitfire, when he said no one thinks that dude was transphobic. Loopop posted some abhorrent poo poo that it would be disgusting not to speak out against, especially when he had been given additional platforming from this thread.

Matt's right; unless we want to stop posting synth influencers, what synth influencers who are regularly posted here have to say will be relevant whether or not it's directly synth related.

He intentionally leaves out a massive and essential context to the whole situation in his description. You may not see it this way, but I very much think that it’s willfully dishonest, and lying by omission.

If Loopop was just a benign Israeli content creator getting his social media jacked up by angry comments and racist/nationalist attacks you’d have a point.

But people are mad at Loopop because Loopop’s many public statements give the undeniable impression that he believes that there are no innocent Palestinians, that he sees them all as subhuman, and that their full eradication is both justifiable and a worthy goal in his eyes.

It’s like if I said that Candace Owens gets a lot of racist abuse thrown at her, which is true, and then I go and present a clip of one of her university talks being picketed by LGBTQ people completely without context or explanation before saying “there’s too much negativity in the world 😔”.

Do I think that Loopop has received posts that could be, in good faith, legitimately called antisemitic? Absolutely, it’s almost certain that he has. But it’s also dishonest and more than a little gross to bring up ‘antisemitic comments against Loopop’ as an example of the internet hostility and toxicity that you don’t want to deal with anymore when the entire reason that Loopop’s nationality is at all being discussed anywhere is because he openly and publicly lusts for Palestinian death.

I apologize but also I stand by what I put in here and I did it for a reason, it's loving upsetting. It's really goddamned upsetting. And I dont think an influencer who makes money off of impressions on their video should get away with essentially cheerleading this poo poo. I'm also not wild about Benn Jordan minimizing it but others in the thread have put it much better than I ever could.

I totally get wanting to not want to hear/read about this stuff and I'm sorry for bringing it in here, but Loopop opened up this bag of garbage with his terrible posts on the subject.

Lol I saw that clickbaity video Benn put up last night and am glad I noped out of watching it. What a loving turd. I just somehow knew it was going to be him qq'ing about loopop getting called out. Oh no, the fascist genocide apologist synthfluencer is facing very mild criticism!

Once again I must point out that Benn is an out and proud libertarian that drives a tesla. I'd be surprised if he isnt becoming the synthesizer version of Glenn Greenwald.

Not gonna encourage anyone to watch the video but for the sake of clarity it wasn't a video about lopop. It was three words used to help his point and he moved on.

Like he deserves plenty of criticism but let's at least be honest about it.

Speaking of ill-concieved synthfluencers, today YouTube recommended that I watch "Abacus vs Maths by Penishead," from YouTube channel Penishead, where the thumbnail was a man wearing a penis mask on his face in the center between a Behringer Abacus module on one side, and a Make Noise Maths module on the other side.

I did not watch the video.

It is cool but it would be cooler if it was a retrofit like the deluge got. I guess in concept that's no different than buying a new software release but from an e-waste standpoint it feels like a huge win.
