Wow - that's a beautiful thing indeed. Thanks for suggesting this flow.
Swapped out KeyStep for the KeyStep Pro.
KS Pro connected to MRCC USB C
NDLR connected to MRCC USB B
Set KS Pro In clock to be USB, selected Track 2, pressed ARP button. Set MIDI In for track 2 to be MIDI channel 2.
On NDLR (start simple) - Clock Internal, Pad sending on USB 1, channel 2.
MRCC - NDLR (2) route to KS Pro.
Press Pad Start - immediately start hearing pad notes arpeggiate. Change key, spread, etc on NDLR, hear the new arpeggiations.
Bonus config - using a master clock (E-RM) on MRCC port 3,
set NDLR clock to external (USB 1)
Route clock (3) to NLDR, route clock (3) to KS Pro.
Press start on E-RM, hear cacophony.
Press Pad Stop, Pad Start, all good from that point on.
In both cases, no need for any MRCC filters/routes.
Bottom line -- unfortunately, MIDI often requires musicians to think like engineers, especially when problems arise.
My suggestion - start with a blank MRCC config. Use NDLR as master clock, set KS37 to use USB for clock, MIDI channel of your choice.
Set NDLR Pad MIDI channel to USB, match KS37 channel. That should just work. Expand from there to your full setup.
