What options work for allowing all 4 instruments to be connected at once? I am in the UK, and the only readily available model only has 2 usb slots. I have only just realised it does not ship with a Hub and this has left me somewhat worried. Does it need to be a powered hub, or will a standard PC type one work?
Thanks for your help!

I'm sure any standard usb hub will work.

Any usb hub works but I did see and "offical" usb hub from harmonix but I'm sure any cheap one will work just as fine.

Just grab any usb hub and plug it up, should work fine.

Thats great, thought i was going to have to spend even more on some special adapter.
Thank-you all for taking the time to reply!
Edit - does it need to be a hub that takes its power from the mains?

Even if it doesn't require it's own power, do it that way anyways. With the way manufacturing has been latetly, I wouldn't want to put any more power stress on the hardware then needed.
aka. Get a powered usb hub. Still cheap. (The harmonix one is powered by the mains not the console.)
