Hi Nick, and welcome.
To add to this, it's always a good idea to connect a device directly to the computer to do any firmware updates, and this is usually recommended by the manufacturer in the update instructions. In this particular case none of the Elektron boxes we've tried has been compatible with the USB host ports on the MRCC unfortunately (unless something has changed with one of our recent fw updates which is possible. If you have been able to use these boxes VIA MRCC USB please do let me know). We have some plans in place to get to the bottom of some of these issues, however it is still largely unknown as to how these efforts will pay out. More to come on that in the next 3 months I would guess.
At this point I believe Sysex works across all standard connections (from and to USB/DIN/PC ports), with a 512 (or is it 256?) bit per packet limit. This will likely not be useful for every situation, as not every device will let you tell it how many bits it should be sending, but it could be useful for sending presets from a librarian software for the most part.
I don't remember whether or not Steve was able to get the SYSEX handler written for the Expander ports yet or if that is still a WIP.
