I'd like some kind of case or bag that will hold the NDLR or MRCC when I'm not using them (or when I want to take them somewhere). Any suggestions?

Hi

Because the NDLR doesn't send control midi and I want my performance to be recorded to be edited after the fact (but not the generated notes, the actual commands), I try to command the NDLR over midi. After a LOT of headscratching I finally came to the conclusion that the CC commands have a VERY serious erratic lag. This is especially noticeable when changing degrees and alterations with CC's. With notes all is fine. Is there a setting I have missed or is this a known issue?

Thanks!

(external controllers used: mainly Pyramid, Launchpad Mini MK3, but they're not part of the problem, believe me)

I have connected a midi controller via USB. Device does not allow to change the midi channel, but I can do this using a MRCC modifier e.g. output CH1 change to CH2. It works well in some setups, but during jam, I would quickly change the output channel to another.

Setup:
- MRCC (no way!
- nanocontroller2, set internally to channel 1
- multi timbral synth controlled by midi

I set up routing from USB1 to SYNTH1, without modifier. The controller transmits CC information to CH1. Here I can create a modifier and replace it with CH2. However, during the jams, I need very quick changes, at most one-two buttons. I can define them before, but switching between them must be quick. And it's just about one connection, so I don't want to load another configuration.

I did not succeed in doing this, but maybe it is possible in virtual ports? A1-A4? Any other way? 

Can it use the MRCC+1-12 button for immediate port changes?

The feature is for a beta error, but it's quite possible that it might occur for some other reason (e.g. damage to the SD card). As MRCC is critical piece of setup, it must be unbreakable.

If MRCC cannot start due to a default configuration load/interpretation error, then let it start with an empty setting, such as factory or specially created (read-only) "Safe mode". If MRCC does not start and hang, it will be much worse than if it starts with the recently removed setting.


In addition, you could do from time to time an automatic backup of settings (not visible to the user) that could be loaded during an error.

Going forward, you might think about versioning the configuration... It's pretty simple to implement (like everything, hahah . But logically it could look like this:

- When saving a setting, it will be saved with name e.g. init01.xx.ini, where the name is the name of the setting and the number xx is the next number or date. Only the name init01 would be visible to the user.
- when uploading the setting init01 would always be uploaded version with the latest number xx. You wouldn't see all the versions. Nothing would change in the current upload settings.
- The only addition would be the option "load previous version" and when you click on it, all versions (only for init01) to choose from would be shown.
- when uploading settings and encountering an error, MRCC could automatically upload an earlier version.

I have a Digitakt as the main brain of my setup.  I have Midi Out from Digitakt going to a Moog Sirin, Craft Synth, Analog 4 and Blackbox.  All of them receive transport and tempo but Program Change does not send.  What am I doing incorrectly?

This same setup with a Midi Quadra Thru box works just fine and I can change the programs by simply turning a dial on the Digitakt.

Any ideas?

I just wanted to post a message of thank you. The MRCC is an amazing new multipurpose tool for enabling easily the combining of legacy MIDI and modern USB instruments, sequencers and the likes. You definitely have hit the nail on the head. I am seriously considering purchasing a second one already .....

I finished re-wiring one side of my studio and now am able to dynamically "on the fly" connect all the instruments together without changing a single cable. Switch the MRCC, plus instruments I want to use, on and within seconds I can start playing/composing/fiddling.

Being able to wire both output ports on the Schrittmacher to two input ports of the MRCC is extremely useful. Output port A on the Schrittmacher always sends MIDI clock, even when the sequencer is slaved, but output B doesn't. The MRCC allows me to leave both ports permanently connected (no worries anymore about repeatedly switching the MIDI cables at the back of the Schrittmacher). When I use the Schrittmacher as master clock I can route output A, if it is slaved I use output B, brilliant!

My other sequencer, the Hermod, works very well using one of the MRCC USB connections. The Hermod needs to be configured for routing to "USB Device". Using the Hermod as master clock, clocking is stable on all 10 synths I currently have connected to the MRCC MIDI outs.

Being able, at the same time, to use the Kordbot as creative composing tool, connected via USB to the MRCC and routed where ever I want it, gives me the option to really quickly figure out new chord progressions. If I like the new chord structure, I can record the MIDI data directly into the Hermod. This was my original intention more than 2 years ago, but it was way too much hassle re-wiring every time I wanted to use the Kordbot. Now a simple routing change allows me to send the Kordbot MIDI to any (poly-)synth I have switched on. Directly or via the Hermod. Wow!

I do have the port extender still in it's box. Hopefully I'll be able to set some more time aside soon, to also connect the other side of my studio directly to the extender.

This has become a bit of a longer story than I intended, but my enthusiasm didn't allow me to stop 

Hi, 
In the manual it says when you connect two mrcc in remote mode you gain 5 pin 12 outputs.  Do you not gain the 5 pin inputs  of the second mrcc also? Has any one tried this? Thanks.

Hello all,

Is there a simple black and white diagram of and outline of the panel? I'd like to print one up and sketch out the studio connection possibilities. 
There isn't one in either the QS or OM.

Thanks,

Kent

My MRCC arrived yesterday and I started re-wiring my studio bit by bit. I can report that the Hermod Eurorack sequencer by Squarp Instruments works very well. 

So far I have tested sequencing several synths using normal MIDI on the MRCC. I connected the Hermod USB device port to port one of the MRCC USB device port and setup the routing to the MIDI out ports (connected 4 synths so far, more to go).

Clock timing is good, all synths I connected follow MIDI clock nicely. I will need to make a few tests to figure out best power-up sequence (Hermod first or MRCC first). I have noticed the Hermod - MRCC over USB combination can take a few seconds to recognize each other, not a big deal and expected when using USB.

Thank you guys, a brilliantly designed product. Especially coming from a good old Roland A-880 .... from the early '80s, this is a huge improvement and well overdue.

I wish there was either a button combo or CC control for turning modifiers on/off. Here's my use case:

I'm using the Novation Summit as my master keyboard. Now, its keyboard can be split to play parts A and B, and each part has its own MIDI channel. I often want to for example use the left-hand part for playing an external instrument with MIDI and the right part for playing Summit itself. In this case, I obviously don't want the right part sending MIDI. Unfortunately, I can't disable MIDI channels per part on Summit itself, so currently I'm using Blokas Midihub controlled by Morningstar MC8 foot controller for turning channel filtering on/off as needed.

To simplify my setup, it would be awesome to have this feature right there on MRCC instead, but turning modifiers on/off currently requires a lot of button presses. Having some kinds of button combo shortcuts for turning modifiers on/off, or enabling CC control for them, would be perfect for solving this.
