Can the response midi gateway receive midi input over USB?

Question

I haven&rsquo;t had much success attempting to do this. Response gateway was connected to Mac Pro via USB. The gateway shows up, but I wasn&rsquo;t able to get it to receive midi from Ableton live.

Response MIDI Gateway can definitely receive MIDI over USB to output on its 5-pin DIN jacks. I double-checked this with a Response MIDI running 2.2.0.5. 
 I would suggest having a look at snoize: MIDI Monitor as a piece of software that runs on MAC - it will detect USB-MIDI devices and log the MIDI messages that are coming and going. 
 A caution - if you are also using ETC Eos software on that same computer, you will want to disable it from using this device - only one software at a time can use a MIDI endpoint. Depending on your Eos software version, that's probably in Browser > Setup > System Settings > Show Control under the USB MIDI/SMPTE tab.

This Gateway can send and receive MIDI (notes, MSC, MTC) through its 5-pin DIN connectors as well as through USB, and over network as UDP messages. 
 So, if it's getting MTC from a computer via USB, it will Output that through its 5-pin connector and also send it over the network (when configured). Thus, you'll see a (y) under Out. 
 Edit: MIDI over USB to the Response MIDI Gateway is not forwarded out onto the network. 
 If another device is putting MTC into a MIDI cable, plugged into the 5-pin IN connector of this device, then it will show a (y) under In and it will pass that MTC up through the USB connection, if made, and on the network, if made. 
 It's also possible to send MIDI to this device via UDP over a network. It will then pass that MIDI Out of the 5-pin connector, but will not see it as "input" to the USB side.
