Devices tested with USB Host Port connection
One of the coolest things about our interfaces is the USB Host Port which enables you to connect USB MIDI devices without having to go through your computer. Unfortunately there are a few devices that do not work because they expect some special commands directly from a computer that we can't provide. We've been assembling a list of those that we've tested, but we obviously can't get our hands on every piece of gear out there. So if you have something you have tested with our Host Port, let us know and we'll add it to the list.

One question before the community provides info about devices:
Does it make sense to try to collect more specific test results, what has been tested?
For example:
*send notes: | yes | no | not tested |
*receive notes
*send clock
*receive clock
*send CC
*receive CC
*???
Of course there are a lot of devices that can't be tested for some of those "categories".
Or do you think that would be an overhead and a simple | yes | no | partially | is enough information?

recieving clock is the only functionality i have tested!
Working:
Alesis iO Dock II (with iPad Pro)
Roland JD-Xi
Korg KP3
Korg KP3+
Arturia Keystep
Future Artist MIDI Looper
Not Working:
Roland System-1
Roland TB-3
My preparation in iConfig was to enable all(!!!) midi port routings and disable all filters. So i expect that any key-down event will be sent to all ICM4+ OUT ports (DIN + USB)
My testing setup A was:
"KORG nanoKEY2" on one port of the USB hub. (this device is listed as working in your list)
"Roland JD-Xi" on another port of the USB hub.
Key-down events on the nanoKEY does not trigger notes on the JD-Xi
My testing setup B was:
"KORG nanoKEY2" on one port of the USB hub.
"Roland JD-Xi MIDI IN (DIN)" to ICM4+ MIDI OUT2 (DIN)
Key-down events on the nanoKEY does not trigger notes on the JD-Xi
My testing setup C was:
same as setup A but i replaced the nanoKey with "Arturia KeyStep" (this device is listed as working in timespy's list)
Key-down events on the keyStep does not trigger notes on the JD-Xi
My testing setup D was:
same as setup B but i replaced the nanoKey with "Arturia KeyStep"
Key-down events on the keyStep does not trigger notes on the JD-Xi
Obviously i am doing something wrong here. Can you point me in the right direction?
(i double checked midi channel settings so this shouldn't be the problem)
now i tried without the hub and had the same result.
But i found out that my iConfig did not behave as i expected:
hitting Ctrl+A within the tree of the "filter section" selects all. i thought my filter setting changes will apply to all inputs/outputs. but obviously iConfig has some different behaviour...
Anyway - After renaming my connected USB devices and carefully double checking routing+filter settings everything works!
rodney_iConnectivity:
Roland JD-Xi: sending and receiving midi notes via ICM4+ USB host port works!
Teenage Engineering OP-1: sending and receiving midi notes and receiving clock via ICM4+ USB host port works!
Future Artist MIDI Looper: receiving clock and powering the device is the only reason for its USB port - so there is nothing else that can be tested and it should be listed as working
*EDIT: also sending and receiving midi notes on the Future Artist MIDI Looper (without using DIN ports) works perfectly
Novation Mininova and we gave it a try.
It's not listed in iConfig after plugging into the host port and it does not respond to usb fired midi events.
So it can be listed as not working
Roland SBX-1
Not working:
Edirol PCR-800
I can confirm that the MIO 10 can see the following: Behringer DeepMind12, Elektron Digitakt and Elektron Analog 4.
I have been unable to get the MIO 10 to see the Behringer BRC2000 yet.
I am still hoping I can get the MIO 10 to see a couple of Roli Seaboard Blocks and a Boss RC-505.
Hope this helps.
If there is any advice for Behringer BRC2000, Roli Seaboard Blocks and Boss RC-505, I am all ears.
Thanks.

I just did a usb plugged into a hub. It did not appear like the other devices.
