Reinventing the classic MIDI router

Serious control power with this unique MIDI router. A total of 11 MIDI inputs and 17 outputs plus two thru ports allows you to connect a wealth of MIDI gear, filter, map, merge and route with huge flexibility.

Supplier's Notes:
Following on from the NDLR, an innovative Multi-part Polyphonic Arpeggiator, Conductive Labs have set out to reinvent the MIDI Router. Why? Because there's nothing like it!

It's super deluxe: featuring one button routing for each physical input and output, RGB LEDs, and OLED graphical display, everything can be easily setup without a PC. Unlike devices with front and rear facing connectors, MRCC's vertical ports are designed to have the smallest footprint, saving your desk space for more synths!

Massive MIDI I/O: 11 inputs and 17 outputs, including 5 PIN DINs, 3.5MM MIDI jacks in both flavours, 4 USB host ports, and a USB client (PC, Mac or tablet) connection with 12 MIDI ports. With automatic merging, MIDI master clock with CV clock out, filtering and MIDI effects, and MIDI message monitoring.

Expand and extend your outputs up to 50' away with the MRCC Remote 7. Need even more? Connect 2 MRCC's together with a single cable for remote routing up to 32' (10m) apart. MRCC is Rack mountable too, with the available 2U Rack Ears.

User Centered Design
All MIDI cables plug vertically into the top panel which frees up valuable table space. The top panel graphics connect each button-jack pair so you know exactly which device you are routing or filtering.

Routing MIDI paths and configuring MIDI filters is easy with the full colour LEDs and the one button per input / one button per output front panel layout.

Modern Connectivity
11 inputs and 17 outputs, including 5 PIN DINs, 3.5MM MIDI jacks (in both type A and type B flavours), 4 USB host ports (with 4 virtual USB MIDI input ports each), and a USB client (PC) connection with 12 virtual USB MIDI ports. Everything you could want for connecting MIDI gear in your studio.

Advanced Functionality
For more advanced tasks use the graphical interface on the sharp colour OLED display. Using the tabs and folders style UI with the cursor buttons and encoder makes navigation simple. Once the MRCC is configured, save it to memory for recall later. All this with no confusing PC app.

Expandable
The optional MRCC Remote provides a convenient, clean solution for getting MIDI outputs to a remote location, such as into a 19" rack or to your keyboard stand. The Remote is connected to MRCC with a single shielded Ethernet cable, eliminating a bundle of long MIDI cables.
If you need even more ports, connect two MRCCs together!

Accessories
Expand the MRCC with the MRCC Remote 7. It adds 5x routable 5 pin DIN connectors, with 2 shared 3.5MM TRS (in both A and B flavours). It comes with a 10 meter (32') Ethernet cable to get MIDI outputs to where you need them, without a bunch of long MIDI cables.

Rack mount the MRCC with 2U Rack Ears. These strong, powder coated steel rack ears mount the MRCC in a standard 19-inch rack.

*Accessories sold separately.

Features

  • I/O - 11 in x 17 out routable and filtered MIDI ports (19 output connections counting MIDI thru ports)
  • Automatically merges Inputs, when routing to a common output
  • Message filters - clock, note on/off, CC, prog change, & Stop/Start/Continue
  • Mappings - velocity scaling, channel splitter mod, & 12 PC virtual cables on the PC port. Each USB host port has 4 USB MIDI virtual In cables and one out. You needed 4 Ins for The NDLR, right?
  • Tools - Save/Load (127) presets*, MIDI routing tests for all ports and channels, & Visual MIDI monitors *Save up to 50 routes per preset. This may be expanded in the future, but currently you can’t route everything to everything all at once.
  • And more - MIDI CC control for MRCC Arpeggiators and Clock
  • V Clock Out, for use with MRCC internally generated clock w/ configurable PPQ (1, 2, 4 and 24PPQ). 5V or 12V selectable
  • Connect MRCC to another MRCC with an Ethernet cable. With remote output routing!
  • MIDI panic (shift + encoder)
  • Multiple Arpeggiators
  • Keyboard Splits and layers
  • Velocity mapping (e.g., compress velocity from 0-127 to 0-100 for DX7)
  • CC mapping and scaling. Velocity and aftertouch can map to CCs (e.g., Volca FM CC for velocity, or use for modulating synth parameters)
  • Port labeling with a compatible (US) USB keyboard. Auto learning USB device labels plus built in labels
  • Hal 1999 AI reads your mind menu system. Press the encoder to jump between context appropriate screens
  • MIDI message indicators on Routing screens (you won’t know how you lived without this), including channel and clock indicators
  • Full matrix routing monitor with clock source indicator(s)
  • MIDI message monitor
  • RGB LED light shows, including MIDI Port activity and MIDI Notes activity
