Definatly. It would be very nice.
However, between my scanner, my printer, my camera,
my smart media reader, my Midiman Oxygen 8 Keyboard, my Roland Ua - 30 and my
EMU I only have 4 USB ports to use.
When USB first came out, I was under the assumption
that devices would have a USB OUT which would allow daisy chaining (up to 128
devices) but apparently manufacturers found this stupid... shrug
time for a hub

Not currently. We realize this is a desirable feature, but technically
this is very difficult to achieve. We are prioritizing USB development
efforts with the philosophy of doing things that benefit most from the
speed advantage of USB first, hence bulk sysex transfers are first
priority. There is little advantage to sending real-time MIDI over USB
versus a traditional MIDI cable (Classic MIDI?), other than reducing
cable clutter. In fact, many would argue that MIDI over USB is a
disadvantage, because USB is inherently sloppier timing wise than
traditional MIDI. But we do realize why people want it, and it is on our
feature list.
