A studio with hardware synths must have a hardware midi merger.

Benedict1966 05.11.2024

All I can say is that coloured midi cables are the solution if you're dealing with many hardware synths in your studio. I use white midi cables to connect my synths to the midi output of my Synthstrom Deluge sequencer (a very versatile sampler/sequencer in one dedicated device) via a Kenton THRU-12. I use the other available colours of the sssnake midi cables for sending the midi outputs of my hardware synths via a Kenton MERGE-8/4 combo to the midi in of the hardware Deluge sequencer. Each synth has its own midi cable colour. Same colours for synths when one is to the left andcthe other is to the right of the Kenton MERGE-8/4 combo.

One drawback is that the merger mixes midi clocks. I have two Korg Prologues that keep sending midi clock messages. I solved that problem by using an Arduino Uno with a Midi Shield running a Midi Clock messages suppressor coded with the help of ChatGPT. Very simple code.

Merges midi with no noticeable lag or missing message. Solid, will survive touring.

Alles supi - bis auf scharfe Kanten

Wie die Thru 5 arbeitet auch die Merge 8 Box still, solide und tut was sie soll mit Bravour - niemals hatte ich damit bisher Probleme. Dennoch stören die scharfen Kanten an beiden Geräten enorm. An der Kante des Merge 8 habe ich mich bei der Montage geschnitten, daher ist es jetzt mit Isolierband abgeklebt.

Geen omkijken naar...

Deze midi merger mengt alles wat er aan midi binnen komt. Als je je gear wilt aansturen vanuit verschillende bronnen, een digi-piano, drumpads en andere controllers dan kun je dat doen met deze merger. Nooit een probleem mee gehad. Simpel maar betrouwbaar.
