Mc6 Pro Issues with Widi U6Midi PRO (and Widi Jack)

Morningstar Gear MC Pro Series MIDI Controller
1

Issue with U6Midi Pro, Widi Jack, and MC6 pro. I’m on the latest firmware for the U6 3.4 version (and Widi Jack). Using the 2023-03-08 MC6-Pro beta.hex version and beta editor for the MC6 Pro.

There are two issues.

If I connect the MC6 Pro via USB to the U6 Midi Pro with a Widi Jack attached, the MC6 editor fails to load in the bank names in the list on the left side, but not when I look at a single bank. If I connect the Widi Jack directly to the MC6 Pro or use a direct USB cable the issue goes away.

Another issued is if Iconnect midi cables from the U6Midi to the MC6 Pro and connect the U6 pro to my laptop via USB, I have to manually assign the u6 midi channels I’ve routed to the midi ports … and then MC6 editor drops the connection to the MC6 pro.

CME WIDI, MC6-Pro and frustration

Regarding the bank names, the controller sends quite a large SysEx packet to the Editor to populate all the bank names. So if the bank names are not appearing, it means that the U6 cannot pass this large SysEx message through (about 4000+ bytes 128 banks * 32 characters).

But we’ve broken up that Sysex packet already though. I’m not sure if it was in the 2023-03-08 release, but you can try this firmware I just compiled:
2023-03-10 MC6-Pro Test.hex (1.1 MB)

Regarding the second issue, I didn’t understand fully. Do you mean you can’t detect the U6MIDI interface in the editor? That is likely the case because we filter out MIDI devices and only show specific devices. If you can share a screenshot of the device name, I can update the list and add it in. It should work with the “manual select” feature though. Do you mean it stops working halfway after connecting successfully?

3

It never finishes connecting manually. Pretty sure it worked earlier (maybe do ue to a software change)?

Let me get a screenshot…

4

Just tested that. Does not appear to have helped. Using the beta editor. :frowning:

From CME, the U6 Midi Pro has a max sysex size of 4096 IIRC.

5

Pretty sure the sysex packets are much smaller now. Let me check it out next week

6

Just tested the MC6 PRO v3.11.2 Firmware Release and the latest (non-beta) editor. The problem persists.

Did not see anything directly about this issue in the changelog for the firmware.

If the fix is in this firmware (and/or editor), then we can go back to CME and see if they can fix this.

7

Yes, the fix is in there. You can try this firmware. I’ve reduced the packet size from 1200+ down to about 300+.

@james Oddly I cannot download that file and there does not appear to be a link? It says “uploading”, and maybe it did not complete?

9

My bad, I think I exited the page before the upload completed. I have fixed the link.

Same issue with 3_11_2.

Here is the log (let me know if this is just noise and not helpful):
