when you don't need a routing patch bay style splitter

this simple utility box divides your midi signal 8 ways and buffers it and corrects and glitches before sending it out.... all channels go to all outs so don't get it messed up! but its really useful for a static studio setup where every channel is permanent. This thing just works great and runs off the power from the output device!

midi solutions is my go to for solving little problems... rock solid utilitarin stuff... they sort of took over from JL Cooper from me. Which is great, if I want to use tape again I don't need my JL Cooper midi to smpte box because it came standard as an output on ym damn MOTU interface, which is wild. I digress.
