Hi, brand new MRCC user and curious if there are any pros/cons connecting via USB vs Midi din (besides one USB cable vs 2 for midi in and out). Guess if I could also power the unit via the USB connection it would be a plus.

I have a few controllers and synths that have both so looking for guidance before I start rewiring everything.

Thanks

I had the FW button held down for around 5-10 seconds and now my NDLR won't turn back on/show any sign of life.

Has anyone had this issue before and know a fix for it?

Hello ! I am actively looking for a NDLR because this little gem is out of stock  .
So if you sell yours, I am very interested. I am located in Europe.
Thank you !

How are you guys exporting or recording the midi from the NDLR to your DAW of choice?

I've tried a couple different ways, to no avail. I'm using Studio One and couldn't get it to work.

I'd like to be able to discretely record the midi of each part to its own midi channel. Everything

would have to be in sync, of course. Studio One needs to be sending out sync, it won't work as

the slave, (too bad) unless you sync to midi timecode which the NDLR doesn't support. 


I also tried it with my mpc1000. Although, it seemed to handle one channel

of midi recording fine, it can't record all channels at once, which is less than optimal.


From what I understand, the squarp pyramid can multitrack midi, but that seems like a bit much.


Has anyone here gone down this particular rabbit hole?

I’m trying to get midiOX to recognize my synth I/O for fw updates and sysex dumps.
When I patch PC USB (green, port 1 of 12 called MRCC) to any of the din outputs AND patch the corresponding DIN input to PC USB (blue, hold, choose port 1 of 12 called MRCC) this works. 
But when I do the same for PC USB from/to 1 of the 4 USB device ports it doesn’t? 
I’ve tried all virtual ports (1-4) of these as well. Any idea where I’m going wrong?

I'm saving a transpose value of +12 in transpose #2 but on saving and recalling it's back to 0.

when loading a previously saved arrangement, without arming the arranger causes ratcheting of notes @ 1/64th at the lowest octave. 
When arming the sequencer, it pulls it back in play as saved, but one would expect to keep on playing what's the current config, instead of sounding like a machine gun. 
Took a while to find this one out.

NDLR - MRCC Bug - YouTube 



Debugging above stole most of my weekend, it's a serious bug that needs fixing. 
Got a NDLR via USB1 out to MRCC 1
Got a Prophet-10 Rev4 (but same symptoms with any synth) on USB3 on MRCC 2
Used the conductor knob to route USB-1 1 on MRCC-1 to USB-3 on MRCC 2
Got USB 1 (AS-1) and USB 2 (PEAK) also armed on MRCC 2

You see me going through the config of both units in the video > Watch carefully, there are no midi loops or other stuff engaged.
Hear me play the pad, the pad plays a consistent triad chord.
Hear me engage LOCAL output 10 (blue led on MRCC 1) one of the 3 notes of the triad starts randomly dropping off.
Hear me engage REMOTE output 10 (yellow led on MRCC 1) 2 notes drop off and PAD plays monofonic. 
As you can see this is repeatable behavior. There is NOTHING connected to MRCC 1 or 2 Midi Out 10.
If impatient, watch from 2.25 you'll hear immediately the notes drop when engaging midi out 10 remote (yellow) and coming back when disengaging. 
MIDI OUT (Start/Stop) is OFF on the NDLR.

It seems to be a bandwidth thing. If I map the Prophet-10 from NDLR USB-1 out to USB-4 out it works fine.
Is the bandwidth dynamically distributed between the 4 USB outs? Or does each USB out only have 25% of the NDLR USB bandwidth and is 4 parts over 1 virtual USB ports too much?

Hello to all of you,

I bought a MRCC and want to update it, but teensy keeps saying "no device found".
I tried different USB C cables on 2 different iMacs, one Highsierra, one Catalina, non ever with USB problems.

what could it be i'm doing wrong?

thanks a lot!

Hello.

I've been happily using my NDLR for quite some time now, but I've run into a strange issue. When I boot the NDLR it all looks good at first, but after a few seconds it freezes. Not even the BPM pulse moves.

I've tried doing a factory reset and when that didn't help I tried updating the firmware which made no difference.

Anyone got any ideas what I could do next?
