Roland a 880 midi patchbay5/3/2023 ![]() Phil) have lots of synths, and I'm curious what your setups are too. Probably not ideal since it still wouldn't be able to mix inputs, and would take a lot of space and power. You can digitally connect one physical INPUT Port to 0 to 8 physical OUTPUT Ports (MIDI Splitter). I just remembered that I have one of these laying around. The Roland A-880 can be seen as a digital patch bay. I have the tools, but I don't want to take this on right now because I know I'll never complete it! the 880 down to Ocean Way Studios and, using a Mark of the Unicorn MIDI. The connection is looser than the others, which I'm guessing is the culprit. I can't find one of these for cheap, especially since I don't want to use a passive one because the MT-32 is already a bit quiet. The Akai DPS 12, Roland VS series, Korg D8, Yamaha MD - 8, and Fostex FD. Very flexible MIDI patchbay from the golden era of MIDI However, I tested every connection and Output 3 doesn't seem to send MIDI. Honestly this should work OK, and may solve the potential problem of SysEx being able to override the global volume on the LA synthesizers? This would probably be expensive, as it would be seen as pro musician equipment. And then you have a very handy MIDI patcher. ONe can buy these 2nd hand for about 200. Problem here is that the Creative Labs interface caused SysEx errors on my MT-32, but maybe the CM-64 would be more tolerant, or maybe the drivers have improved, or maybe my new Windows 10 laptop would do better in 2017 than my old Windows 7 desktop did in 2010 or so? Probably not, because Creative has sucked at for a long time now, especially in the driver department. If anyone needs a manual for the Roland A-880, Ill email you a copy. Dig out my Creative Labs USB-MIDI interface, and use it for 1-2 synths and the Uno for the other 1-2, then swap which one is plugged into the PC.Main downside is that I have to have all 3 synths powered on to use the last one in the MIDI chain (I think?). ![]()
