listed in the official compatibility list as not working with usb, but maybe that was with older firmware (either the torso and/or the mrcc). I just got my t-1, and it is working very well. Quite happy, since i'm out of din inputs!

Also have been continuing to have success with the kodamo essencefm, and also the waldorf quantum and M. Curiously, i was not able to get the waldorf iridium to work.

This is actually a hardware feature request. My MRCC is sitting on a guitar pedalboard, sending MIDI to the hardware sequencer and MIDI-controllable effects pedals I have on the board (as well as other keyboards and synths). The stock endplates on the MRCC were designed to angle the MRCC when sitting on a desk, but unfortunately give a pretty minimal amount of contact with the velcro on my pedalboard. I removed them and put on the rack ears instead, which allows the MRCC to rest flatly on the pedalboard, but also means there's about 3" of wasted space as the rack ears jut out farther than the MRCC does.

I would gladly pay for endplates that aren't rack ears but also sit flat. That is, two pieces of metal with screw and other holes in the right place to fit correctly against the MRCC body.

I always like to know that any preset work I do on any hardware device can be saved somehow, just like backing up data on a computer. I'm aware that the MRCC saves data to an internal SD card and that I can back up the contents of the MRCC by unscrewing a side panel and removing the card, but that's complicated and tricky given my setup.

I have the MRCC connected to two hardware keyboards and four additional synth modules, plus two chains of MIDI-controlled effects pedals, plus 4 inputs from hardware keyboards and a hardware sequencer, plus power for two USB devices. The MRCC is mounted on a guitar pedalboard and is (intended to be) permanently connected to the devices on the pedalboard. Detatching it and disconnecting some of the cables to get at the SD card is a fair bit of trouble. It'd be so much nicer to use a MIDI port or the PC port to send data to a PC, whether via Sysex or otherwise, than to have to unscrew my hardware to back up the data.

Hi there,

I got an issue with my new MRCC. It is an amazing device and I can correctly route all the USB IN to all the DIN OUT but the PC port behaves inconsistently.

I can send the master keyb on the USB A to the PC01 and record the notes in the DAW (I tried this with both Logic and Live with the same results), but then the notes recorded are not sent back to the synths despite the PC sending to all the DIN OUTS. It sends the clock and all the machines get the start and stop and bpm correctly, but notes and cc are not sent out and synths do not play anything.

You get that it's a very cool machine but pretty useless if I can't playback the midi recorded =)

Anyone with the same problem? Is there a fix to this or it's a new bug?

Running FW 1.1.052 and directly connected to the computer's USB port. I also turn on the MRCC before powering the computer otherwise in the Midi Audio Config I get a new MRCC and the one setup is greyed out. Maybe it's tied to the problem above?

Please let me know if you need more details. I tried to attach a pic of the setup but didn't work.

Thanks guys!

Cheers,

HI,

I cant get the midi-clock from ableton to the Korg sq-1 via MRCC. It works when I connect directly to the SQ-01 via USB.
The SQ-1 has two "virtual" USB midi inputs one for notes and one for control. I can see on the MRCC that the computer is sending play-stop run midi to the unit but I think its the wrong USB "device/input".. 
How can I get the MRCC to connect to the USB MIDI control input? When I hold the MIDI out button on the USB host on MRCC I dont get the 4 virtual "devices" as when I press and hold the input on the USB host on the MRCC..

Hope some of this makes sense :-)

Ole

Is there a power supply available for the MRCC? Ive managed to damage my existing power supply by  bending the tip. It still works but I can easily foresee a future in which it won't. Is it possible to use any USB-C 12Volt 1 amp power supply?

BTW This unit has greatly expanded the capability of my live AND studio rigs. Thank you!

HI - is there any danger of an update to the MRCC manual, to incorporate the details of the firmware update v1.1.052 released in early April 2022?

The most recently available manual is dated July 2021.

Thanks

I use the cv clock out a lot with my modular but sometimes like to use other clock sources. It would be handy if when the MRCC detected clock input from somewhere it would give the same 5v pulse out that it does when it is acting as master clock.

Thanks

edit.

probably best to just totally bail tonight and watch Stranger Things, which in my mad quest to make music, i have sadly neglected this season.

i'm not sure what to do. ultimately it makes no difference to me whether my failure to get consistent results from my mrccs is user incompetence, a bad memory for keystrokes (probably amounts to the same thing), or inconsistent operation of the mrccs.

i mean - maybe these do save. Why on earth (there is probably a logical reason) does saving require the shift key PLUS the black button? I've been pressing the black button, and it moves to the activity screen. Why does it do anything at all if saving requires the shift key also?

i just can't spend hours troubleshooting this thing. I love these in concept, but sometimes it is just a royal pain.

If realizing i have been trying to save incorrectly for a long time corrects some of these issues going forward (i don't mind power cycling the things if i retain my routings), and my next few days work better, i will retract my negativity. I just want to make music, and i am encountering a variant of the 'less is more' paradox. i love what i have. in theory i have a great setup. but i'm at the point where a significant percentage of it is troubleshooting, trying to remember keystrokes, etc, etc.

i mean i can make fun of myself a bit - how smart can i be if, even knowing how to do it, after using these for months, it took me probably 2 hours to get a cross mrcc usb routing actually working, rebooting these over and over, losing settings because i wasn't saving correctly, etc, etc. The mrcc isn't my only device, and the more keystrokes there are, the harder it is for me to remember all of them across many devices. The more intuitive they are, the less that memory enters in.

edit - a rational person might say that the save button has 'shift' right above it. hah. just noticed that. tiny screen. hard to read. i have to squint to see that. this is one of the reasons that i've asked for some kind of computer interface for this. I just can't deal with these tiny screens.

getting back to my one question amongst this babble - why is the shift key required to save, if you're on the save setting already. Why not just pressing the black button? I'm terrible at remembering keystrokes - why not have them be the simplest possible and remove the memory part from the 'equation'?

Is there any way to back up all the data produced by the MRCC? To do a Sysex dump or something similar to a PC or Mac, and a Sysex Restore?

I see the data's stored on a MicroSD card, and I assume the "under the left panel" in the manual means "unscrew the panel to get to where the MicroSD card is seated". (Which in my case also means disconnecting a number of things and taking the MRCC off my pedalboard; I have it mounted on a pedalboard where it's talking to several synths, a sequencer, and a few hardware keyboards as part of my live rig). It'd be nice to know I can back up the presets and settings in some easier way besides copying the contents of a card that's hard to access.

Thanks!
