What I wouldn't give for a small MRCC like the 880 behind a Eurorack panel, powered by the bus...

Hi everyone,
so I have about 20 pieces of MIDI gear of various sorts (modules, synths, pedals, controllers) and I've got two MRCCs to control/integrate them all (hopefully!).

I've managed to get the basics up and running (i.e. one keyboard driving several different pieces of gear), but before I try to implement my final approach, I was wondering is there some sort of strategy I should follow re: Channel assignment?

Or does MRCC basically make it easy that every single device sends and receives on Channel 1 and you let the MRCC handle all the mapping? Or is that very much a bad idea and if so could someone explain why?

I've tried to run through it with ChatGPT and it reckons this "unique" approach would work, but I'm worried now about why it's unique and what I might be missing out on.

Probably important to mention that I plan to use the Octatrack as my main jamming device with the PC12 controller.

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

After finding a USB keyboard that works I spent 10 minutes entering/saving around 20 additional labels following the instructions to the letter.  Then when I came to use them in Assign Label I found that all the ones that were alphabetically after "J" were now gone even the ones that were already there like the KeyStep Pro and the NDLR. So I went back add re-added one of the missing ones (from the "T" range) and lo and behold, now all 4 of the "M" Labels were suddenly visible. But still a whole load missing. So I turned the unit off and on again, and tried again adding in a couple of Ts.... now all the N's reappeared but still not the 3 T's I had just rentered.

So I gave up - I can find no logic whatsoever in why this is happening. 

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Hello!  New owner and first time poster here.  I'd like to have a bit of a pause before changing keys, chords, or chord types to let pads and drones trail off and avoid some of the unwanted dissonance that it can sometimes produce.  So... is there a way to modulate the ALL Pause/Play rather than assigning a separate modulator for each part?  If not, an ALL Pause/Play modulator would be really helpful so you don't have to use up 4 modulators to achieve the desired effect.  I'm still getting my feet wet, so if anyone can suggest a different approach I'd be happy to give it a try.

hey all
is there a way to play chords without having the pad seq running? so having the sustain as long as the chord button is keeping pressed?

otherwise can i set the sustain in a way with the seq running? or gate lenght

thanks

Firmware 1.1.075

I have had MRCC for a while, settings had name setup to MRCC and had some issues in the past where ports were switching around and couldn't be assigned by Bome Network software due to name changing. That seems to be fixed. However, I have since added a second MRCC, named it MRCC-B and changed the name of the first MRCC to MRCC-A and then deleted the midi device in Mac audio/midi settings, rebooted and sometimes the first MRCC sends its name as MRCC and sometimes as MRCC-A. Settings always say MRCC-A. So the fix is to go to Audio/midi settings, delete the MRCC from devices, and reboot, sometimes it takes the correct name MRCC-A, sometimes not.

Hello... just powered up my studio and found the devices connected to the Remote 7 weren't triggered via MIDI. Tried another ethernet cable but no luck. Remote 7 is enabled and no change if set to Remote 1-5 or Copy 1-5. With a hardware MIDI tester connected to MIDI Out 1 on the MRCC I am seeing data pass but not if I then move that tester to output 1 of the Remote. FWIW, I'm on 1.1.071 though it was working fine so not sure that matters.

Any thoughts?  Thanks.

NDLR v2 

Mixcraft 10  

Arturia analog lab V

here's my situation:

I'm controlling the NDLR using otherwise unheard pairs of notes in a track on a hw sequencer (in this case, a deluge).
downstream of it I have a doepfer maq which is going through a midihub to make it comply with a particular key.

(the doepfer outputs a chromatic scale, making it difficult & dangerous to use in a live situation. I've spent thirty years on this, I know!)
(also, the midihub is remapping the NDLR's drone channel onto the three channels the maq is on, so the three maq rows are being transposed by the drone note)

so... I am planning to match the presets in the midihub (8 different keys) with the eight presets in the NDLR (the same 8 different keys).

if I discover that the preset numbers are offset by one, which they sometimes are, I'll just rotate the presets differently, maybe I lose one....

anyway, getting the deluge to play these PCs at the same time & on the same track as the NDLR-controller chords.... I can't do that easily, & pinging them out from the keyboard I have would be tricky; I want it to be do-able on stage, quickly.

basically I'd like the NDLR to send a PC on its controller channel when the preset is changed, or else be configurable so that the PC is sent when the chord degree changes.

(I have a workaround, which is to use the midihub to turn the drone notes into program changes, & then apply these to itself, but it's not stable, & limits me to one octave of the drone range)

this would work my midihub & its force-to-scale to follow what the NDLR is doing, so it'll play nice with a maq or a midi'd klee (my next project!) or oberkorn or whatever.

it could also do patch changes on attached synths.... different instruments playing the different chord degrees.... imagine that with a carefully arranged orchestral patch!

I'm thinking of a relatively minimal scenario here too, the one where you just sit with the NDLR & a synth module, nothing else. something to record your jams on, of course.

Hello, I tried searching to see if this has been answered previously but no joy, so am posting.

Got the new red NDLR recently. Started to play around with it this morning. For some reason it's only sending clock messages and start / stop when I press play and pause. If I connect it via a midi converter (iConnectivity XM) it works fine. Have tried changing the midi out to 'USB ALL' in the menu but that doesnt make any difference.

I'm pretty convinced there's something glaringly obvious that I'm missing, but can't for the life of me work out what it is. Any help greatly appreciated.
