Hey all. I’m trying to get a multiport USB hub working with my op-z and have failed so far. I tried a non-powered hub, this powered hub https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073HBBFLY and both failed to work. Midi monitor shows the op-z transmitting midi but it doesn’t reach the intended device. When i directly plug the op-z into the devices individually, it works as expected so it must be the hub.
TE recommends the kingston nucleum as the only supported hub, but it only has one port on it so it’s not super useful. If anyone can list a working hub they’re using, it would be much appreciated!
I will recommend using only powered USB hubs. They do not slow down your computer`s performance, when more USB devices, are attached to it, because they are getting power from an AC adapter, which is plugged directly into the electrical outlet and not from your personal computer’s internal power supply.
I suggest investing into more expensive solution like this one from Elektron:

i bought an expensive belkin USBc hub (model # F4U092), for computers,netbooks etc. It works with midi keyboards and uses your existing usbc charge cable for passthru power, it will power you midi keyboards AND charge your Opz. However it wont allow digital audio out thru usb for some reason.
