I am interested in buying the Usamo to get a good timing with external synths when using Live.
I would like to use the Max LFO device to send MIDI CC# to my synths through the Usamo.
Will this work well? Did anyone tried it? How much can you run 2-3 LFO´s without a problem if the synth has snappy midi reception capabilities?
Also, should it work with the Edirol FA-101 interface?
Usamo in combination with Max For Live LFO device?

It should work OK with the FA-101.
>> How much can you run 2-3 LFO´s without a problem
By the fundamental nature of MIDI, if you try to send more than one MIDI message at the same time, one of them will happen after the other, and so be out of time.
Also I'd be surprised if the timing resolution of the Max For Live LFO device was better than one audio buffer anyway. So it's not clear the USAMO is going to be much of a win here.
Where it would help would be for note sequencing, or clocks.
