Does Your APC40 Work Through a Powered Hub?

[contakt321]

Mine doesn't.

Wondering if my powered hub is junk or what (even though everything else works).

Anyone care to share?


Having some severe USB issues with:

APC40 needed to be plugged in direct
MAschine to be plugged in direct

USB interface, Novation 37SL, misc other stuff...

And only 2 USB ports on my MacBook. Bad times.

Mine does. Linksys 4-port USB router, Mac Book Pro. My Motu MIDI router does not work with it however...

I am running the APC40 also on a powerd 7bus Hub from Belkin. On the same hub are also Maschine and Kore2 and a Midi Keyboard and devices are working like a charm. No latency or other issues. I also use a portable 4bus Hub from Logitech when im on Stage and never had any problems.

Please do not forget to add a power-supply to your USB-Hub everytime.
I say everytime because of safety and security reasons, that all your devices will work properly.

USB has the same effect like an extension-cable if you work with your electrical tools in the garden:
It comes to an point, where Power-Consumption is getting too much...

500 mA per USB-Port is Standart. So on a 4-times Hub, your PC can not support 2 Ampere for 4 Devices !
Too long USB-Cables with a small diameter of each wire results in an higher resistance of the cable.
If power breaks down on usb, you receive a lot of trash-data.

Solution :
Add a Power Supply,
keep cables and wireing short

If you follow this, you'll have a stable system like hell ...

Thanks for chiming in guys, sounds like I have a crappy USB powered hubs.

Would any of you gents mind looking at the actual model name for your hub and posting it - just want to make sure I get something that works.

Mine works fine through the crappy hub built into my Dell 2001FP monitor.

This one works great.

AFAIK Most cheap USB hubs don't actually have separate individual USB circuits for each port. They just double up internally and thats when you run into problems.

Read some reviews for the hub here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductRe ... 6817394008

It appears to have heat issues, and a high failure rate after one year. I'm not saying yours will, but it is something to consider.
