I can't believe I missed this thread and device! I've been struggling with insufficient inputs for some time, and was considering suggesting a new improved MRCC with 8, or better yet, 12 USB Host connections. Years ago I sold off half of my studio and promised myself to not buy anything more. I have failed miserably in keeping this highly constraining promise. Which leads to connection issues.
At any rate, this is exactly what I was wishing existed - and more! All I was hoping for was a 4 DIN input USB device, and this baby has the addition of a DIN output as well. Lucky me! Turns out this is even more ideal for my envisioned use case. I can now take care of ALL connections on my Yamaha MEP4 with just one USB Host port used on the MRCC. Previously I had been limited to using just three of the MEP4 outputs, and most recently I had to sacrifice one more to allow another input from a new device, giving me only two usable outputs on the MEP4.
My XpandR should be arriving in a couple days, and I'm trying to wait patiently. It's difficult. I've already drawn up my new MIDI map for its inclusion - I'm ready!
Thanks for making this.
