Im not sure how this is news. I bought one 1 year ago. It fits perfectly in my small studio. A really great product
Conductive Labs recently announced that this ‘has arrived’ and is available at retailers. It may have been available in limited quantities previously. But this seemed like a product that Synthtopia readers would be interested in.

Hey Kip, thanks for posting. One question. Let’s say that you connect a midi controller o one of the ‘midi ins’. If I connect four mono synths on the four ‘midi outs’. Does it has the functionality to play chords. Do you know?. Thanks in advance. Sid
PS if someone else knows another solution/product for this configuration I’m looking for. Do you think you can help me out?. Thanks in advance
No not on this device. The big brother MRCC does have that feature though -> https://youtu.be/UvR5f669CtA?si=Yd6DDo7GfodfH6pM
@Sid. You might want to look at the Blokes midihub. I can’t vouch for it from personal experience, but I think it might do what you want.
I’ve never tried this specifically with my midihub. There is an integration between the midihub editor and user patches shared via github. You need a computer to access or modify those scripts. If you go to the blokas forum you can see whats there. I like the way midihub works for simple stuff and all the ports are addressable on my mac, including USB, so I can use things like Bome or MidiPipe (or Max) for all sorts of merging and processing. This CL product seems cool for live use.
it was issued years ago. it never went off the shelves at Thomann and others. and now you give them free advertising and misrepresent it as a new or updated item. very bad journalism
Thanks, reader, I didn’t know that Thomann is selling Conductive Labs products. It would seem though that they sell the MRCC 880 since November 2022, that’s a bit over a year ago, not “years” as you say. It’s also number 14 in the sales rank for its category, the bigger MRCC is number 3.
Do you have a source with sale numbers to back your claim that they “never went off the shelves”? If not, it’s just very bad commenting.
LOL JIM “it’s just very bad commenting”
