Upcoming Midi-USB → Adds midi USB

[makz]

Hi,
because of the covid19 crisis and having no gig I was thinking it might be a good time for me to switch to nerdseq drum sequencing (I have had the trigger16 since its launch but dont use it, I rely mostly on a wmd metron at the moment). Obviously if I do so I would be interested in connecting a launchpad to keep a tactile feel (mostly for muting and other performance oriented stuff) my question is should I just buy the standard midi expander (6hp and doesn't work with the latest launchpads that are smaller which is a big selling point to me) or should I wait for this Midi USB upcoming expander ?
So to take the decision I would to know :
is there an ETA ?
how many hp ?
will it feature midi on a 3.5 stereo jacks (like bitbox, arturia stuff...) ?

Answers I would like to hear :
- june !
- 4 ! (so i can squeeze another crosscaler or OR module)
- YES in & out !

Hi there.  Unrelated question:  How do you integrate your Metron with the Nerdseq?  Thanks.

easy I don't use the nerdseq for drums at the moment, only the the metron
I don't really have drums patterns linked to song / tracks ; I often program them live.
This is my performance setup only .
