Atari-Midi Archives

I have been getting help as regards my atari problems so here is 
something back.I managed to make a midi signal splitter,to be used 
for triggering lots of midi stuff off,and it is very!easy to make.I 
was wanting to send midi dater to a roland mt32(I have four!),from 
midi sync software,but then change patches from another 
machine,running an editor,plus lots of other strange configs.In short 
all you need to do is conect the pins from a 5 pin din,solder on two 
bits of wire from each single pin,then connect these to two seperate 
5 pin dins at the other end of a sutable box.It been a mirror image 
you have to swap over conections right side to the left.You need to 
solder in 220homs resisters on the pins that carry a power signal so 
that you dont overload the outs,especially if you turn it around and 
have two signals going into one.I have made four units for my setup 
and they work great.Note that these units are not midi merge 
units.They can only carry one set of information at a time,which is 
all I wanted then to do.I am not an electrician And you do this on 
your own head,but it works for me,saved a fortune on midi box thingis.
If anyone want more details I could always do a diagram,mel
