  • Midi Morningstar Mcp6 pro With kemper player latency

    Quote from kpahuitsing

    on all Profiler models it is totally clear which connector is host (='A' socket) and which is device (='B' socket)


    An USB 'A' <-> USB 'C' cable explicitly codes the 'C' side to be the device side (note: it has to be a cable which supports datatransfer, and not only a charging cable) The Morningstar seems to recognize this correctly, as it starts acting as a device, but acts slowly as I understand from your reports?


    Maybe the Morningstar has problems processing the MIDI data it is receiving *from* the Player, when acting as a device? For example: initially the 'Paintaudio' controllers had this problem too, and it was fixed by Paintaudio in their firmware.

    The cable is a data cable. The Morningstar has two USB-C ports. One labeled "device" and one labeled "host." The Morningstar "device" port does work with the Kemper USB-A port. The Morningstar "host" port does not. Maybe this is expected behavior. If so, it is possible people are plugging into one or the other port unintentionally?

    Here is some follow up with a new mystery maybe. I posted this on the Morningstar forum.

    Connecting the MC6 Pro via USB-C host slot to the Kemper Player USB-A does not work for me. I believe this is the primary way to connect the Pro to the Kemper player. Other combinations do work. Connecting the Pro host to the USB-B on the Kemper works (but then uses the port for connecting to a PC) and the Pro USB-C Device connection to the Kemper USB-A port also works, but then blocks the Pro from connecting to a PC editor.

    Am I doing something wrong when connecting from the Pro Host to the Kemper Player USB-A? It should work! I have tried a number of different cables including the one that came with the Pro.

    It looks like there have been some changes to the manual for the player. It initially said this:


    For KEMPER Rig Manager™

    , USB audio and USB MIDI connect the USB type B port of the PROFILER Player to

    either a USB type A port or a USB type C port on the PC.

    ✓ The USB type A port can also be used to connect an universal MIDI foot controller or any other MIDI device with

    standard MIDI sockets via a USB MIDI adapter. Be aware, that there might be limitations since these adapters often

    don’t support SysEx messages.


    With the latest update, it says this:


    For KEMPER Rig Manager™

    , USB audio and USB MIDI connect the USB type B port of the PROFILER Player to

    either a USB type A port or a USB type C port on the PC.

    ✓ The USB type A port can also be used to connect an universal MIDI foot controller or any other MIDI device with

    standard MIDI sockets via a USB MIDI adapter. The Player will act as USB host. In case you intend to send Sysex

    messages to the Player, make sure your adapter supports the Sysex protocol.


    The new language adds that the USB-A port acts as a host. Could it be that connecting the Host USB-C port on the MC6 Pro to the Host USB-A on the player is causing a conflict?
