MRCC USB Host Compatibility Tracker

This is a table of devices reported to work or not with the MRCC USB Host ports. Many of these reports were received in beta testing. Improvements have since been made to enhance compatibility, especially with devices that present multiple USB Device Interface Classes.

Please provide feedback on our Discord server with your experience using USB MIDI devices with MRCC so we can keep this table fresh and accurate.

If you are having trouble with a USB MIDI device, you can always use the 5 pin DIN (or 3.5MM TRS) if your device has one. The MRCC’s MIDI ports all have the same high performance, whether USB or traditional MIDI.
