I wanted to tx pc messages to multiple Zoom pedals: the Midi Host helped me achieve my goal. It is abit pricey at MSRP.... but it does what i need. Cant imagine what the build materials cost, but for the current price i think they should use a housing at least twice as thick...i dunno, maybe there's alot more to the guts than i am aware. NOTE: if you are wanting to use this with a hub you need to first power on the Kenton with nothing connected, then plug-in the USB hub, then plug-in your first devise, then second device, then third, etc. Also, you will need to use ISOLATED POWER SUPPLY(s) if you are using a usb hub: otherwise you get ground loop noise and, because you are not using the Kenton to power your pedals, you can use an inexpensive PASSIVE USB HUB. The Kenton is feather light and the housing is FRAGILE: it will flex when you squeeze it!!! So...if you are going to be gigging with it, probably best to make a protective housing and make sure you keep it somewhere away from crushing feet and protect the connectors from any disturbing pressures...

Works as intended. As with any midi device, make sure you know what you need before you buy it. My big gripe is the cost. 100 bucks for an aluminum box with sharp ass edges with about 12 cents worth of components in it. No one else makes one though so they have you by the short hairs.

This is the only way I have found to get midi data from a non-midi connection / usb only out keyboard to a midi type connection device. So now I can attach my Roland band box to my DIXIBELL or Yamaha keyboards.

Works great. Would be nice to have an on/off button on the case or in the power cable. Very happy with this product, it does exactly what is supposed to do.

It was a little pricy, but it does what it promised. I haven't had the opportunity to use it very much, but it has performed flawlessly each time I have.
