Hapax + MioXM = 🔥

Just finished configuring my new iConnectivity mioXM, and dayum! This thing completely transforms the setup when paired with the Hapax.

Having the mioXM connected to the Hapax USB Host port is a massive game-changer because it instantly exposes all 16 virtual cables inside the mioXM’s matrix. But the absolute best part of this integration is how it solves clock jitter.

I set up Virtual Cable 16 to act exclusively as a dedicated “Sync Bus” (carrying only Clock and Transport messages). I can now route this clean clock cable to any synth or looper that needs it, completely isolating the timing pulse from the heavy data traffic of other channels. If you use MPE gear or send heavy CC automation, you know how easily that data storm can choke the clock. Now, my MPE data has its own isolated lane, and the clock arrives completely jitter-free to sensitive gear like my RC-505. It’s perfectly tight!

Here is how the whole ecosystem looks right now:

:control_knobs: Connected directly to the mioXM:

  • Hydrasynth (DIN) - MPE data flows freely without messing with the clock!

  • Access Virus Classic (DIN)

  • Boss RC-505 (DIN) - Receiving that clean Clock/RT from Cable 16

  • Sequential Take 5 (USB)

  • 1010music lemondrop (USB)

  • Fractal Audio FM9 (USB)

  • Launchpad X (USB)

  • MPK Mini mk3 (USB)

  • MIDI Captain (USB)

:brain: Connected directly to the Hapax:

  • mioXM (USB Host)

  • Erica Synths LXR-02 + DB-01 (DIN A - Daisy chained, receiving Clock/RT directly from Hapax)

:globe_with_meridians: RTP MIDI (Network/Wireless Magic): Because the mioXM handles network MIDI so beautifully, I also have a wireless iPad/Macbook workflow seamlessly integrated alongside the dawless hardware:

  • FM9 is exposed via RTP MIDI so I can manage my guitar scenes wirelessly with FracPad.

  • Virus Classic is also exposed via RTP MIDI to manage patches with the Aura Virus Editor/Librarian.

Everything runs simultaneously, perfectly quantized, and without a single computer in sight. Highly recommend this combo if you are hitting a wall with MIDI routing!

Note: Refined with AI for clarity.
