Got mine last night and got several groups programmed. I’m struggling with cc61, and I think it’s my other 1/8" > midi adapter. I have 4 of these that work on other things (0-coast, ZOIA, BeatSqueezer).
The adapter it came with works great going to the OT, but the midi in of the UC4 doesn’t seem to like any of my other adapters. I swapped them, and the OT wasn’t picking up anything the UC4 was sending out.
Does anyone know if the adapter it comes with is wired differently than other adapters? I realize this is probably true due to isolating the issue… I live in the US, any recommendation for ordering the correctly wired adapter?
Thanks!
EDIT: I found it above - same wiring as Arturia stuff.
EDIT2: Arturia as two different types of midi adapters, apparently. The beat-step pro adapters say “will not work on beat-step,” and the beat-step adapters say “will not work on beat-step pro.”
Any experience? Suggestions?
EDIT3: Figured it out - Arturia uses a TS plug for beat step, and TRS for beatstep pro. Strange.
I’ve got TRS Midi B ordered. Should solve the issue. Thanks for chiming in!
I don´t want to say more concretely ´cause I don´t know if it could be an inconvenience for them or something, but it was Faderfox themselves who told me.
Indeed. Seems this UC4 is the TRS midi B. I have one that came with a Korg device that this site calls A. It works on: 0coast, OP-Z, ZOIA.
Sweetwater sells a 1010music, which is apparently B for $5. I’ll give it a shot.
@Autopoiesis - it’s 5. I believe that’s the correct routing. When I use the one supplied adapter on the input, it receives midi correctly. I’ve tested all adapters on midi in and out. This is the only one that works for the UC4. All my others must be A.
Follow up. I sent an email about out of stock… they got back to me in a few hours. I love small companies who give a shit about customers. Great work, RK!
Great! I’ll drop them a mail, I would like to get that RK-002 cable but it’s tagged on backorder ever since I can remember… maybe there’s a solution (otherwise if someone sells his, PM please! )
