MAN! How did I miss this review until now? I talked with Christian Pasin (Sipario designer) at Musikmesse about this and was interested enough to contact him back in April about buying one, but held off because I was waiting on some reviews or feedback on quality (I'm not usually the "early adopter" type). Appears to be working quite well and with decent reviews from what I've found. Might need to go ahead and buy. Thanks for the quality review Nick.
Thank you for te detailed review. It may look small and limited, but with a couple of MIDI mergers and adequate programming of the MIDI channels, I believe we can run quite a big rig with only 2 input and 2 output ports (plus the USB host). In my opinion, anyway...
Great demo as usual, Nick. A little pricey, but powerful for the gigging musician who doesn't want to carry a computer. Nick, it might be cool if you or Gaz did a non-product specific tutorial on how you can use Midi in creative ways, for those of us who are guitarists, and somewhat new to heavy use of midi besides stomp pedal patch changes. You have a great feel for real world uses, obviously
I'm trying to start and stop my drum machine but it seems on version 7.17 which is the current version the RTM is not present ? Any idea if you've update the software since this video , thanks Jackie
For the money I think iconnectivity Mio4 would be better at about $150 USD. You would need to set up routings via a computer though, then it works standalone.
Indeed that is a big selling point. The only thing I think of that comes close is BomeBox which you can access parameters via web interface let's say off an iPad.
Ho il Sipario aggiornato alla versione 6.12 a quale devo aggiornarla e come si fa? Infine chiedo agli esperti come posso pilotare varie tastiere (2 o 3) della suite Arturia. Ho provato, ma nel momento in cui setto i diversi canali midi se suono ad esempio due strumenti software o me ne suona uno o tutti e due assieme...Grazie
great machine, seems to be just too limited on the number of in- and outputs, for a cheaper and very reliable programmable 8x8 Midi router check out the Alyseum Al-88c
you're right, you need another machine to set it up (you normally do it over network ethernet) but I just wanted to mention it, because there are not that many Midi patchbays around and people new to the business might need them (especially with so much new and cheap hardware on the market)
I know I'm late to the party here, but can this device map MIDI CC with a Learn function, for keyboards that aren't normally remappable without the use of a DAW, such as the Novation Launchkey 49? Or better yet, can it simply allow me to type in/select custom midi CC values exactly without needing the control accessible on the front panel for a Learn function? Also, can it take midi Input on channel 3 and 4 from DIN Input port 1, and reroute that as channel 1 and 2 on DIN Output 2?

I second this idea. I'm a midi novice. It's a little overwhelming.
Thanks for the review. Agreed, too few ins and outs. My old & trusty JLC MSB 2 has 8 ins/8 outs.
Great explanation and review as always. And agreed... More midi outs would be so much more helpful.
are there alternetives to the "sipario" that have similar (or improved) capabilities, e.g. the "midi platform" from future artist?

Do i read this (at 6.29) correctly that there are only 5 midi CC remap possibilities?
how does it compare to the "conductive labs MRCC"?

yes but this is dynamic, you have multiple patches and setups for recall thats what makes this unique

Thanks for the review and the lovely Elektron USB Cable :)
Really cool device! Does the USB support a hub for adding more devices?
Thats a good question, I would doubt it as it only sees one USB port even if your device has more than one.
great machine, seems to be just too limited on the number of in- and outputs, for a cheaper and very reliable programmable 8x8 Midi router check out the Alyseum Al-88c
Sure, but that doesnt have patch change, front panel, stand alone operation, unless I missed something?
you're right, you need another machine to set it up (you normally do it over network ethernet) but I just wanted to mention it, because there are not that many Midi patchbays around and people new to the business might need them (especially with so much new and cheap hardware on the market)
and it's standalone operating (no changing of setup though)
does the usb device have to be class compliant?
+midiofnowhere 93 yep. Otherwise you'd need drivers.
thanks for the answer....looks like a great device thanks for the video
Can more than one map be active at the same time?
not patches, but each patch has up to 8 mappable zones if thats what you mean - they can all be active at the same time
I know I'm late to the party here, but can this device map MIDI CC with a Learn function, for keyboards that aren't normally remappable without the use of a DAW, such as the Novation Launchkey 49?

Also, can it take midi Input on channel 3 and 4 from DIN Input port 1, and reroute that as channel 1 and 2 on DIN Output 2?
In a word, yes. You can map controllers and also ins and outs.
Excellent Review.
How about IOS connectivity?
Or if you own Kurzweil, routing/zoning like this is available ...
Wow, is there anywhere on RUclips that explains MIDI? This was like another language to me...
Great explanation and review as always. And agreed... More midi outs would be so much more helpful.
