Current I/O is the following…
Morningstar MC6 MIDI OUT ->
into RYTM MKII MIDI OUT ->
into Infinity Looper.
The I have my Infinity Looper set to respond to midi cc on ch 16. Everything on the RYTM in midi ch 1-15. My RYTM in its MIDI CONFIG is set to receive and send all cc and program data.
HERES THE PROBLEM: When I send a midi cc command from the MC6 that’s meant for the looper, it does not reach the looper. It gets stopped by the RYTM. However, if I instead do the MIDI THRU to the looper, eureka, looper responds perfect. Why is this happening and can I route the MC6 cc data thru the midi out?
For anyone interested. It’s a FTSW toggle, midi cc 25: 127 on ch16.
MIDI Thru is designed to pass on any data coming from the first unit; MIDI out does not.
What not just use the AR’s MIDI Thru, since it does what you seem to want?
Crap I forgot to mention: the MC6 relays a loop start/stop, and the RYTM relays BPM.
I need both to have the looper work how I want.
The MIDI Thru does not relay BPM
So you want to feed two sources of MIDI data into the Looper? One from the MC6, one from the Rytm.
You probably need a MIDI Merge box.
Why not just push the foot switch on the Infinity Looper? Why do you need to use the MC6?
If you have hands on the AR, you can set it so that adjusting ‘Sample Fine Tune’ on a spare track will send MIDI CC 25.
Does the MC6’s MIDI Thru function merge messages from the device with incoming messages? If so, you could place the MC6 between the AR and the IL.
Hi all,
Never heard of a midi merge box. That’s something I will look into 
Yes I want mc6 control because I want hands free loop time.
But I had an idea, could I MIDI loop? Like go mc6 -> rytm -> MIDI OUT BACK TO MIDI IN ON MC6 -> midi loops back around -> then MIDI thru to Looper ?!!
