@nicolasbulb I unfortunately don’t have an [MPC](https://www.akaipro.com/mpc-live) to validate, but with the small collection of USB Midi devices I do have [Norns: Fates](https://github.com/fates-project/norns/), [Arduinoboy](https://github.com/trash80/Arduinoboy), Organelle, and Mac running [Ableton](https://www.ableton.com/) I’ve had no troubles. FWIW I’m waiting for 0-Coasts to be back in stock (they’re out of stock everywhere I’ve looked), once I have that I could test with what I have.

Building one is pretty easy, but if that’s tricky for you and you’re not in a rush I’m wrapping up a PCB design and hope to have the boards in hand by early July. Assuming there are no flaws or issues I would be willing to build you one for the cost of materials (e.g. 2 [Pro Micros](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FXCTVQP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)) and postage.
