The issue in this case is that Steve needed to write the communication protocol for the upper ports from scratch as all the dedicated com ports on the chip were taken. He made it work but there is more to do to get the SYSEX working, (I may have already told you this tale before, I forget). The plan has been that he will get a chance to spend some time on that, but he's been working pretty furiously on something he's excited about, and hasn't had an MRCC housekeeping day for a bit, so I will see if I can get him steered onto this and try to get you a timeline while I'm at it.
I'll be sure to let you know if it's not likely to be something we can solve quickly (I have no idea how big a job it entails).
I was actually going to see if I can put together a "top ten MRCC request list" and wanted to ask for your input so I was getting on to reach out to you just now. If you have a few ideas I'd love to hear them. Maybe send me an email at Support@Conductivelabs.com with those when you have time.
I also will have a 4 x 1 expander to send to you for testing in a week or so which will break out the USB host ports to DINs (as well as function as a 4in 1out USB MIDI interface for a computer, and a standalone 4 to one MIDI merge box), I wonder if that will be of any use in your hunt for a solution?
I'll send you an email once I have the unit ready to send to confirm shipping info etc.
Talk soon,
Jesse
Jesse - thanks for the update. I knew (in the back of my mind) that there was something unique about the upper ports.
I'll give that list some serious thought and send you something soon. Excited to hear the 4 x 1 is close to being ready for folks.
Note to Steve - hire another developer to help out since cloning still isn't viable. lol
If he's excited about a new project then I'm excited about it as well. So far Conductive Labs has released some very cool and useful products.
