Connecting the ML10X via USB to the MC6-Pro USB Host port and then connecting the MC6-Pro USB Device port to the computer did indeed power up both devices (step 1 success), however, I was unable to see the ML10X via its editor and could only edit the MC6-Pro.
Am I missing something or is this not possible?
Even beyond the above I was hoping I could connect the ML10X and other devices to a USB Hub, connect that hub to the MC6-Pro’s USB Host and then when I connect the MC6-Pro USB Device to the computer all devices would be available to edit.
Thank you for any insight.

You won’t see the ML10X in the editor using this method. What you’re basically doing is using the MC6 PRO as an interface between the ML10X and the Editor. So, in the ML10X editor, you’ll just need to connect to the ML10X via the MC6 PRO (which means, select the MC6 PRO in the ML10X editor). The computer won’t see the ML10X connected.
You’ll need to have these selected in the MC6 PRO for MIDI Thru
Thanks! That works for the ML10X. Although not for mulitple devices on a hub connected to the USB Host.
Hello ! I know this thread is quite old but I’m facing the same issues : trying to connect ML10X to MC6 pro via USB host port doesn’t work for me. “Thru To > USB Device” and “Thru to > USB Host” are checked. On the ML10X editor, clicking on the first port (MC6 Pro) doesn’t do anything. ML10X does get power from USB and reacts properly to MC6 preset changes.
Would it be possible to edit ML10X via Bluetooth connection to MC8 Pro? I have connected ML10X to Host port of MC8 Pro via usb cable and can access the ML10X when connecting my computer to device usb port but cannot do it with Bluetooth connection.
Can you share a screenshot of the MIDI Thru routing the editor so I can confirm if it is correct?
Yes this will work but there is currently a bug where after the data is loaded from the ML10X, the loading spinner indicator in the editor does not clear away (when connecting with this method). Looking into it.
Hi ! Has there been any progress regarding that issue ? I’ve tried with other computers etc but still can’t access the ML10X editor if it’s daisy-chained with the MC6 Pro via USB host port.
Also facing this issue. Any updates @james?
I just tested this with the MC6 PRO (latest firmware Morningstar Firmware Download) and the ML10X (latest v1.2 beta firmware). This feature is working. You’ll need to have this enabled for the MIDI Thru settings:
What is the specific issue you are facing?
Hey @james, Sorry for the slow reply. The issue I am facing is that I am trying to connect via bluetooth from a Widi Host. Both the ML10X and the Widi Host are connected to the UGreen hub which is plugged into the MC6 Pro host port. My setup looks like this:
MC6 Pro (host port) → UGreen usb-c hub → ML10x
→ Widi Host
When I try and connect I get a messages saying that It cannot detect the firmware version:
@james I just purchase a midi jack to use the 3.5 TRS to connect via Bluetooth and eliminate the UGREEN USB-C hub from the equation. I have the Widi Jack connected to my MC6 Pro, and I am able to connect to the ML10x over bluetooth via https://editor-mkii.morningstar.io/ml10x-1-1
but as soon as I try the https://editor-mkii.morningstar.io/ml10x to connect to v1.2 beta editor I get the same issue detecting the firmware:
When connecting to the v1.2 editor, you’ll need to use the v1.2 beta firmware. So that prompt is just a warning that you may be using the wrong firmware for the editor.
@james thats where frustration lies. I am running firmware 1.2 on the ML10X. Been running it since it rolled out. I have made sure to update to the latest version just to make sure I had the very latest.
Awesome! Thanks @james. I was able to connected to the v1.2 (beta) ML10X editor over usb-c and pull the firmware version:
Connectivity testing this morning:
- ML10x Editor v1.1 w/ usb-c - Successfully Connected
- ML10x Editor v1.1 w/ Widi Jack via MC6 Pro 3.5 - Successfully Connected
- ML10x Editor v1.2 (beta) w/ usb-c - Successfully Connected
- ML10x Editor v1.2 (beta) w/ Widi Jack via MC6 Pro 3.5 - Not able to connect (firmware version error)
- MC6 Pro Editor 3.13 w/ usb-c - Successfully Connected
- MC6 Pro Editor 3.13 w/ Widi Jack via MC6 Pro 3.5 - Successfully Connected
Hi, I’m new and just recently got my MC8 Pro and ML10X.
I see the same issue: “Unable to detect firmware version”.
I set up Midi through as per James’ instructions on the MC8.
Connection is: USB C cable from ML10X to MC8 Pro Host Port, MC8 Bluetooth Midi to Editor on Chrome. Both running on latest firmware (1.2 and 3.14, respectively).
I don’t know how you guys checked the older editor version, for me I don’t have the option to select to connect to Bluetooth:
Use the editor URL from here: https://editor.morningstar.io/ml10x
In the screenshot you shared, that is the editor for ML10X firmware v1.1
Yeah I know - the latest one (which works if I connect the ML10X via cable) gives the Firmware issue. It’s just that the others said that the M10x editor v 1.1 worked for them via bluetooth.
I think the issue here is that the communication over bluetooth is slower. Currently, I have set the editor to expect the firmware version data to arrive below a certain time after a connection request. I’ve increased this timing in the beta editor - let me know if you face the same issues there?
