What Happened to the Conductive Labs Forum (on MyBB)

The Conductive Labs MyBB customer forum was shut down due to an extreme number of bots constantly reading the content. Our web hosting provider saw this as a denial-of-service attack and suspended our service (whether it was really a DDOS attack or just too many AI bots). Besides closing the forum, we started using Cloudflare web proxy and caching to further protect the site and reduce hostile traffic. 

As we were in the process of moving all support activity to Discord, we decided to leave it off for now.

MRCCMRCC

MRCC - USB Host Compatibility Tracker - devices reported to work, or not, with the MRCC USB Host ports
Can 2 MRCC’s be Connected Together?

Yes, you can connect 2 MRCC’s together and remotely route outputs!

When 2 MRCC’s are connected, the Y guy lights up in the top right corner of the screens of both MRCCs.

Route MIDI Outputs on the 2nd MRCC by holding the Remote routing button. It is located left of the encoder and marked with the Y guy. Press and hold the Remote routing button on each MRCC to see what remote outputs are routed from the selected Input port.

Save your settings on each MRCC to save the remote routings you created.

MRCC’s are connected using a CAT6a shielded Ethernet cable plugged into the RJ45 on the right side of the MRCC. The best kind of Ethernet cable has metal shrouded connectors that are connected to a drain wire in the cable. We have tested up to 32 feet (10 meters) with a CAT6a cable. You might be able to go longer, maybe up to 50′ with a good cable. A regular CAT5 Ethernet cable should also work for shorter distances, like 6 to 10 feet. 

The MRCC to MRCC electrical connection is not MIDI or Ethernet, it’s MIDI over a high-speed CAN Bus interface. The MRCC to MRCC cable does not factor into the MIDI spec cable length limit of 50 feet. Therefore, you can still use long MIDI cables on each MRCC. 

Can MRCC be Rack Mounted? How are They Installed?

Yes, Rack Ears are available as an accessory. The MRCC is a 2U device and can be mounted in a standard 19″ rack with the optional 2U Rack Ears.

The rack ears replace the existing desktop side panels. You will need a 2.5MM hex head driver to remove the screws.

Remove the 4 screws from each desktop side panel and remove the panels.

Hold the right-side rack ear, the large one with a big hole, so the connectors on the MRCC align with the holes in the rack ear. Then start threading the 4 screws by hand before tightening. The screws should be snug but be careful not to over-tighten them as not to strip the holes in the enclosure.

Install the left side rack ear, then mount it in your rack!

Can MRCC be Rack Mounted? How are They Installed?

Can MRCC be Updated?

Yes! Conductive Labs provides periodic firmware updates to add features or fix issues reported at our MRCC Discord Forums.

Links to the latest firmware updates and instruction can be found on the Downloads page.

Does MRCC Route MIDI SysEx Messages?

Yes, but there were some limitations prior to firmware version 1.0.051 (March 2022). Check for the latest firmware updates on the Downloads page.

Before version 1.0.051:

MRCC could route SysEx (MIDI System Exclusive messages) from any MRCC input to outputs 1 through 6 (5 pin DINs). Outputs 7 through 12 did not support SysEx.

The Remote 7 would only route SysEx when configured as MIDI thru for outputs 1 thru 5.

As of firmware version 1.0.051 (March 2022), SysEx is passed on all MRCC DIN and TRS outputs, and Remote 7 outputs. Passing SysEx between two MRCCs connected with an Ethernet cable is not currently possible.

Most vendors recommend connecting their MIDI devices directly to the computer for firmware updates (for USB devices) or use the MIDI ports on your audio interface which do not do any special processing of the MIDI data.

How Does the MRCC Remote 7 Work?

The Remote 7 accessory for MRCC extends MIDI ports to where you need them in your studio, up to 50′ away, and adds 5 additional, routable MIDI outputs!

The Remote 7 is connected to MRCC via an Ethernet cable. The cable is connected to MIDI outputs in the MRCC and those ports are connected to the Remote 7. The RJ45 ports are not Ethernet ports, do not connect Ethernet devices, it may damage the MRCC or your Ethernet device.

When the Remote 7 is connected to MRCC, the MRCC will detect and enable it after a power cycle.

The 3.5MM TRS ports are attached to Remote 7 ports 1 and 2. The 3.5MM port attached to Port 1 is an A type TRS MIDI (the format adopted in the MIDI specification, and used by Korg and others), and the 3.5MM port attached to Port 2 is a B type (as previously used by Arturia and others). It is safe to try both ports to see which works with your MIDI equipment. And both the 5 pin DIN and 3.5MM output attached to it can be used at the same time.

Upon initial release of the MRCC, the Remote 7 ports acted as “MIDI thru” for MRCC outputs 1 thru 5. As of firmware version 1.1.020, the Remote 7 can be configured as five additional individually routable ports configurable on Settings page 2. In the “Remote 1-5” mode, use the Remote button (marked with the Y guy to the left of the MRCC’s encoder). While holding that button down, select the output 1 thru 5 to route them. The LED for that outputs turns yellow. Hold the Remote button to see what Remote 7 outputs are routed.

Is MRCC in Stock?

Check our shop for inventory, or check with one of our select retailers.

What Causes the MRCC USB Hub Port to Have an Amber Color LED Indicator?

The MRCC USB Host Ports are USB 2.0 specification compliant. These ports have over-current sensing protection circuits, which when tripped will remove power from the USB device that is connected to MRCC. When this happens the LED indicator next to that USB port turns an amber color (instead of green). This protects MRCC from being damaged by faulty USB devices.

Over-current protect can happen with USB devices that require an external power supply but do not have the power connected, or it is drawing more current on power-up than what the USB 2.0 specification allows.

If your device is triggering USB Host Port over-current protection:

    1. First turn off MRCC with the power switch. This resets the power protection circuit.
    2. Try using the external power source with your device and turn it on before switching MRCC back on.
    3. Turn on MRCC. A good USB connection will be indicated by a Green LED indicator next to the MRCC USB Host Port.
What Devices Work in the MRCC USB Host Ports?

The MRCC’s four USB 2.0 host ports are designed to support USB MIDI Class Compliant Devices. That is, USB MIDI devices that do not require a special driver to function. The USB host ports are designed to work best with USB MIDI controllers.

The host ports can also accommodate a standard USB keyboard for entering port labels.

At this time, the USB Host ports do not support a USB hub for expanding the number of ports. We plan to investigate adding hub support. Keep an eye on the MRCC user forum for announcements of firmware updates.

Check out the MRCC USB Host Port Compatibility Tracker for reported compatibility with specific devices.

One way to tell if the device is USB MIDI Class compliant or not; if you have to install a driver on Windows or Apple OS to use the device, then it’s probably not class compliant. However, there are exceptions. For instance, some Korg devices, like the nanoKontrol will use a driver that is required to configure the device, but also works fine as a USB MIDI device without the driver. Many Roland devices come configured to require a driver, but can be re-configured to be USB class compliant instead.

If you are having trouble with a device, please check with the vendor of the device to find out if it is supposed to be USB MIDI Class Compliant.

USB is a complex and timing sensitive interface. Some USB MIDI devices may pose problems for the MRCC USB host ports. Please report your experiences on our Discord server. We will do our best to address compatibility issues, but cannot guarantee success with every device. Using the 5 pin DIN is always a good option if your device has it. Performance is the same whether using 5 pin DIN or USB on MRCC.

Why are there errors sending SysEx messages over USB?

When sending “large” MIDI SysEx (System Exclusive) messages over USB to 5 pin DIN ports, some throttling by the sending software is required. Otherwise, USB data rates will quickly overflow the MRCC’s buffers since the data is coming into the MRCC much faster than it can be sent on 5 pin DIN ports. Over 5K bytes would be considered “large”.

To ensure reliable SysEx transfers, make sure the software sending SysEx messages has some delay between buffers. Also make sure buffer sizes are set to what is specified by the gear maker that is receiving the SysEx messages.

For example, using the venerable MIDI OX, open the SysEx configure window:

  • Click View -> SysEx…
  • In the SysEx window, click SysEx -> Configure…
  • Uncheck “Auto-adjust Buffer Delays if necessary”.
  • Set “Delay Between Buffers:” to 100 Milliseconds.

Example of MIDI OX Configure SysEx screen

The “Delay After F7:” parameter should not affect the transfer, but it may be required by the receiving MIDI hardware. Follow the instructions provided by the maker of your MIDI gear. When sending a firmware update, it is best to have the MIDI device connected directly to the computer using a 1-in, 1-out MIDI interface, such as commonly found on an audio interface. These interfaces do no special processing of the MIDI data.
Will a MIDI Controller Configuration Program or Patch Editor Work With a Device on MRCC’s USB Host?

It depends on the method used by the patch editor or configuration program to detect and connect to the MIDI device. The USB Host Ports on MRCC are not a USB hub connected to your computer. When using the USB Host Ports, the MRCC is hosting the USB devices, so your computer will only see its MIDI data from MRCC. That is, your computer will only see the 12 MIDI ports on the MRCC’s PC port connection.

Some programs have you select a MIDI port and channel to find the device, and these typically work with the MRCC’s USB host since it’s just a matter of routing the MIDI messages between the device and the PC running the software.

A configuration program that looks for the USB MIDI device in the computer’s enumerated USB device list will not see the device if the device is not connected to the computer’s USB port.

If the MIDI device’s configuration program requires the device to be connected directly to the computer, you could possibly connect the controller to your PC with its USB connection and connect the device to MRCC with a 5 pin DIN or 3.5MM TRS MIDI connection.

Please check with the vendor of the MIDI device for its requirements. It would be very helpful to report your findings on the MRCC support forum on Discord so we can update our compatibility list for the benefit of our community.

Will a MIDI device with a USB C port work with MRCC’s USB Host Ports?

Maybe… MRCC’s USB host ports are USB 2.0 standard “high speed” ports, supporting 5V, 500mA power. USB C is a super set of prior USB versions which could require more power than USB 2.0 ports offer.

A USB C data connection can be USB 2.0 or USB 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2, etc. The data connection is typically backwards compatible with earlier USB data standards. However, a USB C device may require a USB-PD (Power Delivery) power supply. Which means the device power is negotiated with the USB-PD power supply. MRCC USB 2.0 host ports will not provide power to a device that requires a USP-PD power supply or has a power requirement higher than USB 2.0’s 5V, 500mA. We made MRCC with a separate USB C port for power to avoid this issue, so you can power the MRCC separately from the data connection. If your device has a separate power supply input, that may be required for use with MRCC USB Host ports.

If the device is USB MIDI class compliant, and it has a USB C connector but only requires USB 2.0 specification power, then it should work. Check with the vendor of your MIDI device if you are not sure.

Check out the MRCC USB Host Port Compatibility Trackerfor reported compatibility with specific devices. An example of two notable devices that will not work with MRCC USB host power are the Novation Base Station 2, which has a high USB inrush current that trips the MRCC USB host over-current protection. And the Arturia Keystep Pro, which needs more power than MRCC USB host ports can provide so you need to use its external power supply.

Will MRCC Route a MIDI Clock?

Yes, MRCC automatically routes MIDI clock from any input to any routed output, or multiple outputs.

When you don’t want the MIDI clock to route, such as when there is more than one clock, it’s easy to set up a clock filter. Just toggle the Clock filter (red clock icon below):MIDI Clock Filter Icon

When using the MRCC MIDI clock, you choose which outputs to send the clock to while on the Extras -> MRCC Clock menu page. Press the output button for each output to send clock to, the LED will light red. When the MRCC clock is running, the input LEDs will blink in time with the BPM while on the Clock menu page.MRCC Clock Page

The MRCC MIDI Clock can also be sent to a CV clock output (3.5MM jack). This is useful for syncing MIDI devices with modular or semi-modular synths. The CV clock out supports 5V and 12V outputs. It can be configured for 1, 2, 4 and 24 PPQ. The MRCC cannot send an external clock source to the CV clock out.

The NDLRNDLR

Can The NDLR Be Updated?

Yes! Conductive Labs has updated The NDLR firmware many times since its introduction in 2018. The latest released firmware can be found on the Downloads page, along with the instructions for updating.

Currently shipping The NDLR Rev2 do not come with the latest firmware installed. Please use the Downloads page to locate the latest firmware. It has some great new features!

Is The NDLR Rev2 in Stock?

As of October 2026, there is inventory of The NDLR Rev2! Check our shop or one of our retailers. Do it now.

Which Hardware Revision of The NDLR do I Have?

There have been three notable changes to The NDLR hardware since it was released in 2018.

The first release of The NDLRs had smooth turning (non-detended) encoders. There was a limited number of units made with a blue faceplate available to our Kickstarter backers. The majority had a black faceplate.

The second change was NDLRs with detented (clicky) encoders, and lower pressure chord buttons to reduce the clickiness of button presses.

The third change is the currently shipping as of October 2023 Revision 2 The NDLR. It is easily identifiable by its red powder coated base, vs the gray/blue base of the original. The NDLR Rev2 also has a soft-power button on the back that the original did not have. Currently shipping NDLRs have white on red silkscreen user interface on black powder coated faceplate (going all in on the Kraftwerk inspired theme). 

The NDLR Rev2 uses a different, more powerful processor, and therefore different firmware than the original. 

Check the Downloads page for the latest firmware. Especially for the Rev2 NDLR which has had some significant features added that do not come installed on shipping units.

MRCC 880MRCC 880

Does MRCC 880 Provide MIDI Clock?

The MRCC 880 does not provide a MIDI clock, but it will route whatever clock is provided on one of the MIDI inputs to any routed outputs.

Is MRCC 880 Still Available?

No, we have discontinued the MRCC 880. We intend to replace it with a new design and some substantial enhancements, such as USB host ports for your USB only MIDI gear. We do not currently have an ETA for when it will be available. Sign up for our newsletter on the Subscribe page.

Will MRCC 880 Add Latency or Jitter?

MRCC 880, as with all MIDI routers that must process incoming MIDI data, will add a negligible amount of latency. Typically, 1-3ms, depending on the MIDI message. 1ms is the theoretical minimum delay possible when sending to a MIDI 5 pin DIN port at 31,250bps.

Latency and jitter when using USB MIDI on the Windows OS will be typical compared to any other USB MIDI router. That is, acceptable for most use cases. If you require extremely tight MIDI timing for professional audio or movie production when using a DAW with Windows OS, you will need to circumvent the latency introduced by the OS and the DAW itself. This can be done with a clocking device that uses an audio “click track” and a plugin to get around the latency and jitter caused by the computer. One such device is the ER-M MultiClock, but there may be alternatives, do your research.

It would be abnormal to find that adding MRCC 880 is causing much more latency than any other USB MIDI interface. Please contact our customer support team for help in resolving the issue if you experience an issue. A common cause of high latency is a MIDI feedback loop. It’s also helpful to eliminate all but one clock source.

Can I Cancel An Order Placed on Conductivelabs.com Shop?

When you place an order on Conductivelabs.com Shop, there is a short window where you can cancel it. We can typically cancel an order before it has been delivered to the carrier.

When an order is refunded, Conductive Labs will not be refunded the PayPal fees, so please be sure you really want to place an order. We appreciate your consideration. Use the Contact form to contact us if you have any questions.

Can I Ship to a PO Box?

Yes, but it will severely limit your choices for carrier and might cost more and take longer to deliver than a non-PO Box address.

Do Orders on Conductivelabs.com Shop Require Signature for Delivery?

Generally, orders made on conductivelabs.com shop do not require signature for delivery, we do not request it but it depends on the carrier. Express carriers may require signature when the order is of a certain value. While carriers that pass the parcel to the local postal service will typically not require signature.

Some carriers will give you the option of opting out of requiring a signature.

Due to the unpredictable signature enforcement, we highly recommend shipping the product to an address where someone will be available to sign, or immediately retrieve the parcel. Don’t fall victim to porch pirates!

Conductive Labs reserves the right to charge for re-shipping a product when an item has been returned due to a carrier being unable to deliver it. Please keep a close eye on tracking.

How Long Will it Take to Receive an Item Once an Order is Placed?

It depends on the delivery method.

For USA domestic shipments, we typically use USPS and delivery is normally 2-5 business days from the time we hand it off to the post office.

For International orders we recommend choosing express delivery when possible. The actual time it takes for the carrier to get your parcel to the destination country, and how long customs takes to process it, is of course not within our control. Express delivery services such as DHL, UPS and FedEx typically handle customs processing faster than regular mail, such as USPS. When you place an item in the cart on our shop, you will see an estimated delivery time for the carriers offered.

If you have a special delivery request, please use the Support page to let us know before ordering. Once ordered, we typically deliver it to the carrier quickly.

What Carriers do you Ship with?

When shopping on the Conductive Labs website shop, you will see a list of choices for shipping carrier once you put an item in the cart. Entering your shipping location with a postal code will provide a more accurate cost estimate. The final options will be shown during checkout using your complete address as supplied by PayPal.

The carrier choices vary with the destination, size of package and cost. We use Easyship.com as our postage provider and they will typically offer the best price for the money, the fastest and the cheapest options.

We recommend choosing an express carrier for international orders, such as UPS or FedEx (whichever is cheaper). USPS has also been reliable but does not offer the same detailed level of tracking or delivery options.

Will I Have to Pay an Import Tax?

Unless you are in the United States you will most likely have to pay import tax, duty and/or VAT imposed by your government.

When ordering from conductivelabs.com, in addition to shipping cost, you can see the estimated tax once an item is added to the cart.

The importer (customer) is responsible for paying the import tax/VAT and other fees associated with importing a product ordered on conductivelabs.com, and Conductive Labs will never be responsible for your country’s taxes, including for cases of replacing a defective product. Most countries customs departments offer a process for exchanging hardware, and you will need to understand that process in order to avoid additional taxes if the situation arises. Let us know if there is something you need us to provide in order to complete the process.

Check with your Country’s Customs department website for rules and fees. If your parcel ships by express carrier, some also charged an additional fee (around $10 USD) for their handling of the customs processing.

We ship from Beaverton, Oregon USA. The MRCC, XpandR and Remote 7, and The NDLR Rev2 are assembled in Vietnam. The MRCC 2U Rack Ears are made in China, as is the Ethernet cable that is included with the MRCC Remote 7.
