Hi all,

My MRCC is currently on order. I'm buying cables while I wait for delivery, but I'm a bit confused by MIDI TRS.

I have a 1010 Bluebox mixer which has 3.5mm MIDI TRS in and out ports, and I plan to connect them to the MRCC.

Since MRCC has separate ports for both MIDI TRS types (A and B), can I just buy a normal 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male stereo audio cable to connect them?

Presumably, if I plug it into the TRS B in and out ports on the MRCC, it should just work given that the Bluebox supports type B for in/out, right? No special cable required (eg. crossover or whatever)?

Many thanks,
Ben

Hi all,

A NDLR user here, and soon (I hope) an MRCC user too. I ordered an MRCC last week via Backerkit. The CL website says that all new orders will be shipped in June 2021, but my card doesn't appear to have been charged yet, which suggests shipping might not be imminent.

Does anyone know what the situation is for latecomers like me? Are there plenty of MRCC units waiting to be dispatched this month, or is it possible they'll sell out and I might need to wait weeks/months for the next manufacturing batch to arrive?

Many thanks,
Ben

Hi Conductive Labs,

I was assuming that the MRCC would allow me filtering SysEx, because it is mentioned on page 49 ("MIDI Message Filtering Details").
But this seems not to be the case at all, nether on Port nor on Route level.

Is there a future option like this in the works? It would really help to clear out these on certain connections, especially when it gets crowded and clock (timing) is involved.

Best, Joris

On manual (page 29) it says: "Exclusive is a Yes/No toggle. Yes = only pass the mapped channels"

It seams (if Exclusive is set to yes), it excludes non-mapped channels, but it will also excludes non-channel traffic like clock. 

Is that intentional, or a bug? (I'd consider it a bug, as it took me some time to find out why my device was not playing along in time, and only found this strange behaviour to be the cause).

Hope this can be fixed soon.

I read in the MRCC manual (page 46) 

System Exclusive: "There is a 256 byte max size buffer."

Surely this is not true... (I hope!)

Steve said otherwise, right? ( here )

Hi there, I just received the mrcc today and overall really happy about it, but noticed quickly that the leds are super bright and the device doesn't go into a sleep state. 
Even on the dimmest setting, I've found the leds to be visually distracting and somewhat unpleasant, as a light-sensitive person. Though obviously not dire, it would be helpful if the range of the brightness could be increased to include dimmer levels. It would also be nice if it also went to sleep after some user-defined period of inactivity, only showing one LED dimly or something like that.

Thanks for all your work making this, super excited to get everything hooked up and configured!

Hi,

I'm just starting with the MRCC which I got yesterday.
I tried using an older Apple USB Computer Keyboard to enter label names, but that seems not to work. Is that due to Apple not being a simple QWERTY keyboard (I thought it is), or am I missing something? 
It does (after connectiong & restarting the MRCC) show a green light next to the USB Host Port, but in the EDIT LABEL page of the TOOLS section I seem not to get any response at all, even in a editable 'none' entry.

Please help...

Cheers!

I'm sure this has been asked somewhere but as I have not so much gear (a blofeld, a kawai mp7) for now I was wondering if its possible to set up on the same channel two different programs (sounds) - e.g.  blofeld doing a pad and lead sound. 

thkx!

If it's not possible then obviously not a feature request.

However, -- for me -- I could really use 11 TRS/DIN MIDI ports for inputs versus another 5 outputs.  Yes the 5 outs are a great addition, but given the ease at which the MRCC handles merging, filtering, and re-routing of MIDI data, more inputs would relieve some small headaches effortlessly.

This was the first real go and both recent purchases...

It also features a plant, a necessity in a synth video we'll all agree...
