Perhaps the interface between that cable and the MC8 isn’t great and maybe the midibox jack is more forgiving than the MC8 jack(or same for the midi box input jack). So there are a few possibilities I can imagine. I can’t purely point to the cable, since that same cable works fine between the midi box and the microcosm just not between the MC8 and the midi box. So I have a working system now, but I didn’t exactly determine a root cause. And oddly enough the microcosm preset worked as well. After that I swapped the 5-pin cable going from MC8 to midi box with the one from midi box to microcosm. ![]() I connected one of my pedals to an omniport on the MC8 and the pedal behaved as expected which verified my preset definition. In any case, unless there’s someone more knowledgeable than me that has more input, I’ll call this good and just continue to mind the cables if issues arise.įurther troubleshooting. The “bad” cable is 10 ft, and the working cable is 3 ft, so perhaps the signal from the MC8 isn’t strong enough to make the 10ft distance but is ok with 3ft or, probably more likely, there’s something wrong with the cable internally and it is somehow attenuating the signal enough to affect the MC8’s transmission but not the midi box’s. Is there a configuration in the MC8 that I’m missing that’s causing the MC8 to not send via 5-pin out? Some sort of compatibility issue with the DA midi box? The only difference is MC8 sending midi vs DAW/interface. Everything downstream from my midi source is identical. Short of an actual hardware problem with the MC8, I feel like I’m missing something simple here. 5-pin to midi box is how I’d like to connect the MC8, and from what I understand, that should be doable. I have not tried sending via an omniport yet, because I’d prefer to keep my current setup as-is and expand to new pedals in the future using the omniports. I also tried a similar test with two other pedals in the chain(chase bliss mood and chase bliss blooper, FWIW), and they, too, are unresponsive. I re-tested via my DAW and that’s still working. I verified via the morningstar web editor’s midi monitor that the preset was sending the correct CC # and value. I verified that I had the correct channel, CC # and values in the preset. ![]() I’ve tried a bit of troubleshooting so far. When I press the switch the engage the new preset, the microcosm doesn’t respond. I then unplugged the 5-pin cable from my audio interface and plugged that into the Midi out of the MC8. When I received my MC8, I configured a simple test preset to send the bypass CC to the Microcosm. My MIDI setup prior to introducing the MC8 is:ĭAW(reaper) as source of MIDI messages → scarlett 2x4 interface, 5-pin out → 5-pin in, Disaster Area midi box 4 → TRS to a few chase bliss pedals, AND → 5-pin out to Hologram Microcosm. Greetings! I’m having an issue which I’m fairly certain is something simple I’m missing, but at the moment I’m stumped.
