You don't need to chain by MIDI thru from one to the other synth, you could use a MIDI thru box, perhaps a friend could build one for you, since it's not hard to do. If you aren't in a hurry, I should still have a circuit diagram and a PCB layout, but I'm not willing to search during the summer holidays. There is just one exception, when a MIDI thru box isn't a good solution. The latency of a single in to x thru doesn't matter at all, but if a synth should receive a lot of data in real-time, pitch bend or sysex (yes, it's not real-time data, but sysex often could be used in real-time), this particular synth should get it's input from it's own computer MIDI output. In my experiences one MIDI out should only be used for a max. of 8 MIDI channels (better less), even, if just a few events are transmitted, so I wouldn't build a MIDI thru box with more than 4 outputs. IOW better connect several MIDI thru boxes to several MIDI outputs of the computer. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
