Hello,
I suspect that you are not getting my response emails from the last week so I am trying again on a new strand.
I am having many issues with my MC6 MKII since I received it brand new from Morningstar two weeks ago.Here are the details:
MIDI Chain: MC6 > VOODOO LAB CX > HX Stomp > Chase Bliss Brothers (with a MIDI - 1/4” TRS jack order remade from Disaster Area)
Dunlop Volume (X) to expression 1
BOSS FS7 in expression 2 (although I have now disconnected it since it was causing more erratic behaviour)
MIDI Channel Assignments: MC6 = Channel 1, HX Stomp = Channel 1, VOODOO CX + Channel 2, Brothers = Channel 3
So Far I have only 5 total presets assigned. All of them inconsistently recall the wrong information approximately 50% of the time.
With MIDI Monitor the messages sent out are as follows:
Preset 1A:
13:33:56.906 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Control 3 Controller 103 0 13:33:56.906 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Program 1 110 13:33:56.906 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Control 1 Hold 2 Pedal 0 13:33:56.906 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Program 2 2
Preset 1B:
13:40:03.176 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Program 2 2 13:40:03.176 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Control 1 Hold 2 Pedal 0 13:40:03.176 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Control 1 Hold 2 Pedal 1 13:40:03.176 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Control 3 Controller 103 0
Preset 1C
13:41:05.071 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Program 1 112 13:41:05.071 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Control 1 Hold 2 Pedal 0 13:41:05.071 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Control 3 Controller 103 1 13:41:05.071 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Program 2 3
Preset 1D:
13:41:34.848 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Program 2 2 13:41:34.848 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Control 1 Hold 2 Pedal 0 13:41:34.848 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Control 1 Hold 2 Pedal 1 13:41:34.848 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Control 3 Controller 103 0
Preset 1E:
13:44:45.125 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Program 3 11 13:44:45.125 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Program 1 111 13:44:45.125 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Control 1 Hold 2 Pedal 1 13:44:45.125 From Morningstar MC6 MK2 Program 2 2
Please help me understand why sometimes random presets on the HX are recalled (Like preset #000) and sometimes the Brothers goes to the wrong setting. Also sometimes when I press a button, it makes the recall on the HX stutter before selecting a random preset.
I have also performed reset all and refreshed the 3.4.1 Firmware twice. Still no improvement. I previously sent screen shots and a video but I don’t want to do this again because I believe the attachments may have sent my previous emails to a junk folder on the inbox.
Please help me as I am currently very discouraged. I feel that this unit is defective. Hopefully you have seen this before and know what the problem is.
Hello All,
I have finally figured out the issue with this set up and appreciate all of the help from Morningstar Engineering on this. It seems that the VoodooLab CX control switcher does not pass midi properly from its midi out port. It was causing errors to the other units in the chain ( CBA Brothers & HX stomp). I am now using a Disaster Area Midi box to convert midi to 1/4 inch TRS for the Brothers. Now that the VoodooLab is last in the midi chain, everything works great. I really wanted to make sure that it is know that the issue was not coming from the MC6 and I can see now how well it works. Thanks gain for thé support!
