I recently purchased an MC6Pro and an ML10x and the ML10x is blowing my mind. It’s fantastic and the shipping time was crazy fast, so thanks for that.
Perhaps I’m just old, but I would presume that a lot of guitar players don’t have a ton of experience with MIDI, myself included. I was able to find this post:
that talks about connecting these devices together, but I haven’t been able to find documentation about physically connecting these two devices anywhere. While it may be obvious to anyone with even a tiny bit of MIDI knowledge, I still haven’t been able to make it work.
I’m able to use the web-based editor to talk to both devices when connected to them individually via USB, but I can’t make the 6 do anything to the 10. I have the OUT from the 6 going to the IN of the 10 over MIDI 5-pin. In desperation, I added another MIDI cable from the THRU of the 10 back to the IN of the 10, but that didn’t help.
In the videos, the 6 seems to know about the loop names that are defined on the 10, so I assume that will magically happen when the devices start talking to each other correctly. If that assumption is incorrect, please clarify what I need to do to set the loop names in the 6.
In general, I think your documentation should have a “for best results, connect them this way” since there seems to be several options for how to connect the two devices.
I’ve also tried blindly using the 6 to try to activate a 10 preset by bank/preset #s but no dice there either. Any help with troubleshooting would be appreciated.
I was able to get some of it working tonight. I think a big part of my problem was that I thought there would be a woosh where suddenly the MC6Pro in some way indicated that it could see the 10. Those ways might include a message on either editor, or really this:
Unfortunately, that video starts with everything physically connected and using an MC8, which I haven’t looked up the inputs of to know what’s what, but yeah, I kinda got it working tonight. I can switch presets anyway.
In case you’re reading this trying to figure out the physical connections: mine worked by going from MIDI out on the 6 to MIDI in on the 10. I had to re-seat the 6-side a couple of times before it kicked in.
I still can’t see my loop names and would love to know how to see them.
Hello @james, Thanks for the reply. I’m using editor-mkii.morningstar.io on both tabs and I don’t see the loop names. Does the order of browser-to-device connection matter?
I was using FF but have switched to Chromium because the advanced presets weren’t working in FF for me. I’d strongly prefer not to install a Google/Microsoft browser, but will if it’s my only option. Any tips you could give me to help me get this working would be really appreciated.
Ah! If browser not Chrome then that might explain these unexpected results. Brave is a Chromium based browser that’s the privacy opposite of Google. I think the Editor works fine with Brave!
