Hi guys,
I just got my second uTrack 24 set up as a backup in our redundant system.
I’ve got a Midi Solutions Programmable Midi Input Selector to run redundant midi. It’s Midi powered but my uTrack doesn’t power it.
I know other people who have the exact same set up and theirs works… any idea why mine wouldn’t be working….?
Cheers,
PerryHi Perry ,
The uTrack24 uses standard midi pinout on the midi connector and it should provide power as well.
Do you have a chance to try with any other midi device?Hi Laszlo,
I’ve tried it on both of my uTrack24 players and both do not work. I tried it with my Behringer XR18 and Fractal Audio AxeFX and it works with both of those devices.
Cheers,
PerryThank you for your feedback.
Does the uTrack24 sends out midi properly? I mean if you connect to any external powered midi device everything works fine?
I assume the issue may cased by the change in the midi standard (2014) . Previously the midi connector provided +5V for the external device, but with the new standard (the uTrack24 follow this) the voltage changed from +5V to +3.3V.
As I see correctly the Midi Solutions Programmable Midi Input Selector require +5V and does not work from +3.3VEverything works fine 🙂
You’re right it’s 3.3v VS 5v… I’ll have to work out the best way to do this….
I could wire up my own power but I’m concerned about sending 5V back into the uTrack24… would this be a problem…?
Cheers,
PerryHi
Sorry for the late reply
I wouldn’t recommend to connect 5V to the uTrack24 midi output directly.
Instead you can use a midi power adapter like this: https://www.midisolutions.com/prodpwr.htm
