At first I got this just as a master clock but its so much more, it has opened new doors with my synths and can be tinkered with live as if it was an instrument. Sending the metronome through effect pedals turns it into a rhythm accompaniment too.

nice and compact.
perfect fit for a box driven studio

thx

I've been using it a bit and it is exactly what I needed!

Perfect compact splitter. Did exactly what I needed it to. Great customer service too.

I’ve been using this pretty extensively since I got it, and it is absolutely brilliant. I was worried setting the tempo would be difficult, but it’s so easy. Reading the tempo is the same way. The click sounds are great. The midi send is flawless. It’s really well-made. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this thing. No financial interest either, I was not paid for this, and I paid for the pedal with my own money. I’m super excited to dive deeper into it.

Item delivered as described, shipped promptly and well packaged

At last,

a piece of gear which is intuitive, with a very well thought UI, providing a tight grip between different machines ….
And on top of all this…Reliable !
I use it for syncing my time based pedals, with a DAW while monitoring with the metronome.
Yes it is a metronome too, and a really elaborate one!
I have to say, this thing works like a charm!
There are quite a few similar products in this niche,
but this is a different beast!
Joe is running the whole show,
a really great guy who knows what he’s talking about, providing excellent customer service and technical support … what more to say,
I am really happy with it !!!

This device can solve most any midi routing or filtering problem and recalls its settings like patches by receiving program change messages . I am using it in my live rig and in the studio. This device has been needed since midi began. The alternatives to this are not even in the ballpark for price and functionality. Thank you JMK

Love this device!
I use it to sequence multiple synths in a live band setup with drums, bass, guitar, etc. I was searching for a DAWless solution to provide my drummer with a click track and solve some minor latency issues I was encountering while daisy-chaining my synths—this device was the perfect fix! It’s intuitive and easy to learn, and I especially love that I can keep the click running even when not sequencing, then sync the sequences with the click when the song calls for it. It’s also fantastic that it works seamlessly with my semi-modular synths. After searching online, I still haven't found another device that offers a dedicated click track. This feature is a game-changer!

If you are having a lot of midi issues with a mess of cables this is a great compact solution unlike any other on the market. Well worth the value and quick customer support

I have a bedroom studio with very limited space and mainly needed something small that I could use to route MIDI back and forth between a couple of synths and grooveboxes without having to constantly go into settings menus and change the routing manually on each device.

The Plexus 4 was perfect for my situation. It's smaller than a guitar pedal so it fits nicely in my cramped quarters and will be great for live purposes. It does all of the basic MIDI routing and filtering stuff I needed it to do as well as working as a USB host, and with the MAJOR benefit that all of the setup can be done directly on the device without needing to plug it into my laptop and use software to configure it. The UI is very well designed--surprisingly intuitive for just being a grid of backlit buttons.

Besides its great set of features, the device itself is rock solid and I haven't encountered a single bug or any weird behavior while using it so far. Truly a fully realized product, which is rare for something I bought on pre-order (and with mention from the designer of possible new features and updates that could be added via firmware).

If you're looking for something compact and 100% fuss free for MIDI, this is it.

If you notice that UPS ground no longer exists for international customers - the reason for that will be me! If you've never heard of UPS charging outlandish brokerage fees for their basic ground service... well, you can look it up. I thought I could sidestep the UPS charges and declare myself as a broker and pay for the importation fees myself - but, unfortunately, it didn't work out and UPS sent the bill anyway...

Joe / JMK fully paid for the brokerage fee that UPS charged...

Isn't that the coolest thing you've ever heard of?
That quality of customer service is rare but it also is a strong statement for the quality of the product that you might be considering purchasing - I have found the clockstep: Multi to solve all my issues of master clocking audio and MIDI events that were becoming almost impossible to sync. Anyhow, I'm grateful for the device and for the great service! Thank You Joe!

There are other boxes that can take on USB MIDI host duties. There are boxes that can merge and route MIDI. There are boxes that can filter, split, or polychain MIDI messages. There are even the rare boxes that do all three! But none of them come close to doing all that with the fantastic simplicity of Plexus’s hands-on, no-computer-needed interface. A true gem for any studio!

Got all my modular and midi tightened up a treat, sounds so much better, awesome bit of kit.

I upgraded to this from another style of hub that doesn't do USB Host. There's much more to it than that, but that's what initially brought me here. Works great!
