Retrokits RK-005 USB MIDI Hub 2019

These things are super cool. I used it as a USB MIDI and it worked great. Also used as a clock splitter. It has so many potential uses, I never got near using them all.

Rig is evolving so I’m just clearing out stuff I’m not currently using. This unit works great.

Please hit me up with any questions

 
From the Retrokits website:

RK-005 USB MIDI Hub

The RK-005 is the smallest standalone USB MIDI Host and a Class Compliant USB MIDI Interface in one.

It can host and interconnect multiple USB-Devices by itself and also sends the merged MIDI to the DIN5 out port – even without a PC or tablet present.

And where other USB-Hosts are host-only, the RK-005 is also a Class Compliant MIDI device as well. This means: Connect the RK-005 to a computer, phone or tablet and it will give you a fast and solid MIDI In and Out from your DAW – Even while simultaneously hosting it’s own USB clients.

Futhermore it can convert MIDI clock to Gate-out: Sync up Pocket Operators, Monotribes or Modular systems to your USB or DAW setup with ease. Adding MIDI I/O interfaces to it? Sure – you could call it the smallest – expandable – MIDI control hub available!

As of RK-005 firmware version 1.7:

* Gated Clock via 3.5mm Jack output.

* Added because we could:

12bit resolution CV + Gate functionality on the jack output port. BEWARE that this port outputs 0-3.3v and is not overly protected! So don’t accidentally plug it into outputs with voltages it can’t handle!

As of RK-005 firmware version 1.4:

* RK-005 Plays Standard MIDI files standalone from a USB-stick

* Advanced settings manager via Teenage Engineering’s OP-1 more info

* Extensive SysEx Support
