Hello Parrotspaain. I understand the risk of a cheaper MIDI device. Sometimes they can cause more problems than they solve. I opted to hedge my bets and get a midi express XT from MOTU. Certainly not cheap from my budget standpoint. There does appear to be a MIDI loop occurring somehow since I can hear notes cancelling each other out and I cant figure out how to stop it. Still searching for an answer. Been getting emails from Steinberg support as well, but no luck yet.
