Dan Green from 4ms posted this info on the MM forum a few months ago:if i connect a MIDI device to it (in my case AKAI midimix), i guess i should power it externally (powered hub?) and not via the MM itself?
"USB power is up to 500mA, which is the standard amount. Internally, it generates that power with an efficient DC-DC converter from the 12V rail. This is much better than using the 5V rail since 500mA on a 5V rail can push the limits of some systems.
For example, with no USB connected the Metamodule uses around 250mA. Connecting my BeatStep Pro brings it up to 320mA. If we had used the 5V rail this would require around 300-350mA on the +5V, but instead it only uses an additional 70mA on the +12V."
