Like usual i couldn't wait so i went ahead and bought the only thing that was in stock in the local store, a 'Phonic midi hub', an USB device with 2 ins and 2 outs and a 'thru' switch that is supposed to work also when the device is not connected to a computer. It is not listed on the site above but it does work OK. It shows itself as 'USB Device 0x170b:0x21'. -- gerrit
