Another follow up:
After completely forgetting the assigned combinations mentioned above, due to thankfully not needing them often, I've now had occasion to revisit this feature, and have discovered a little wrinkle in the behavior that might be looked at for an update. Namely, while using 2 MRCCs with the network cable connection, I have a hardware sequencer going into one unit, and using the remote button to route to a synth connected to the other unit. From the router doing the actual routing, that is what we're considering the first unit with the sequencer attached, neither of the 2 button combo presses (long nor short) sends the All Notes Off signal to the stuck synth, because it's only cycling (visible with the red lights) to its own ports, apparently. On the second MRCC, then, with the destination port feeding the synth, only the long press accomplishes the task, inasmuch as it cycles through all of its own out ports. However, the short press only cycles through ports that are actively routed from its own panel, not the other unit. This last condition seems normal. What I would suggest is that the first unit include the remote routed ports, since it is the one having made the connection, or perhaps to "pass along" the message to the second unit, or perhaps some other method that would align with how things are programmed, such that either the long or short combination would achieve the desired result, since it's the router actually handling the incoming MIDI stream. Anyway, that's my logic, for what it's worth. Mileage may vary!
