It has been a fun day.
I love trying to solve problems.
but i have come to the point where i need your assistance please.

madi card -> 648 -> micstacy -> return to madi.
( madi loop)

IS there a way to control both devices (micstacy and 648) using the virtual madi midi port 3 within the madi loop as described? possible?

the story so far:
micstacy is setup internally such that
AU = off
Id = 2
bA = 1

i have not setup the 648 internally so that it is on any bank or ID ... however i get an online message in the midi remote software when
iD= 1
Can i change  the bank and id inside the 648?

both units are set to madi as the remote control option.

When i use midiremote 4.2 software, i get no response from micstacy when both devices are in a loop.. however i can see that the software is still controlling the 648 -
if i connect the micstacy to the madi card individually (648 out of the loop) i can control using remote software with bank= 1 and id = 2 in the software - so it works!!!!

Placing 648 back into chain and i lose control..

i am thinking that as the 648 is a 64 channel there is no midi thru?
under options in midi remote software there is "program device ID" is this of any assistance?
