The 20 year old midi router I replaced with MRCC could pass sysex with ease on every port. This feature is tablestakes. I own both CL products and what I’ve found is that CL produces mostly functional products that have unusual feature gaps. The 5% that’s missing would make a good product a great product.

I feel the same way, the sysex thing is a deal breaker. Can we get an update on when the firmware is being returned to active development?


RE: USB sysex issues - Jesse Johannesen - 02-05-2022

I've been advocating for this, but it's a big job. I will keep trying to get it on the table, but last time I asked, last week, the answer was not in the near future. I see the demand, and will continue to try and get it prioritized. I appreciate all of your ongoing patience in the mean time. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I want this so much it aches sometimes.


RE: USB sysex issues - now_its_dark - 03-04-2022

Oh dear.. I specifically picked up the MRCC to permanently connect a rig of ~10 modules/effects, all of which require sysex for editing.
It's a beautiful and polished device in many ways, but this is a significant limitation; considering that even the most modern synths typically still use sysex for various purposes (bulk dumps, firmware updates etc).

So the cleanest workaround then (without physically re-patching the cables), would probably be to connect a second, midi splitter/merger to one of the sysex-capable port I/Os and connect devices like effect modules or monotimbral synths to that, with different channel assignments.

Is there any chance it would be technically feasible / simpler for the short-term to create an option for ports to be switchable to this type of configuration? For example, repeating all port 6 I/O traffic to port 7, sharing the same com port.

Steve is currently working on a solution for this and is very close to having a beta. Do you want to reach out to me via email (support@conductivelabs.com). I would be happy to send it your way once it's ready to try out.

Being a complete sysex know nothing, I'm hoping this will be a 'what goes in is what comes out' solution and any chance of getting rid of the 256k limit on chunks I saw referenced elsewhere? Thanks for getting onto this.


RE: USB sysex issues - Jesse Johannesen - 03-08-2022

We have a working test fw, but we still haven't figured out how to crack that 256 byte limit, Steve is still smashing his head into the problem though so I assume he will sort that out eventually. I'll post more info as it comes.
