Hi there,
The MRCC has a top USB-B (PC) connector, and a side USB-C connector, does that mean I can have 2 PC's connected simultaneous?
I'd love to have the MRCC permanently connected to my MacBook (USB-C) and and to a Raspberry PI (USB-B).
Possible?
(I have that setup now with an iConnectMIDI4+)
Best, Joris

No the USB-C connector is strictly providing power to the device. You could still connect both but you may need to turn the Pi into a class compliant midi device in software to do it (using the USB-A host ports). Not sure how much additional work would be needed to do that.

Aw, that is too bad.
Is USB-C as MIDI carrier also 'impossible' as a future software update? Or does the HW design not allow it?
Seems like a 'waste' to have a USB-C port for mere power only.
About the PI as
class compliant midi device I'm not so sure, have no experience with that. Is that easy/doable?
