Hello all.
I just got my new MRCC today, and I'm returning it right away, because of the 3 things I needed it for, it only does one: merger/splitter. When the other two are supported, I'll probably purchase one again.
Since there are two features I'd like to discuss, I'll discuss one here, and the other in another thread.
Here we go: USB host connections have 4 virtual input cables, which is great, but only one output cable. That is a pity, because I'd like to connect the 4x4 MIDI interfaces I already own as expanders - not only for the distance, but also to increase the amount of 5-pin DINs. I have a big studio, and I need a lot. And I'd rather not buy a second MRCC. I know Conductive Labs provides their own expanders, but their choice is too limited: I'd have to choose between more inputs or more outputs, and I'd like both. Plus, you cannot connect 4 expanders. Plus, I already have MIDI interfaces that could/should do it.
It's too bad. The unit seems very well built and thought out. The interface is amazing. Maybe future versions will meet my needs. We'll see.
