RE: [atari-midi-archives] MIDI breakout box

2009-07-20 by Ullrich Peter

Hi!

At the moment I can't remember a ready made thrubox with 16 outputs.

Here is one with 8 outputs:

Also M-Audio has 8 channel thru boxes...

But maybe some of your synths have a midi thru. Normally up to 3 gadgets can
be switched in line via MIDI thru without (big) problems. In this way you could also work with a
thrubox with only 4 outputs (4 output with up to 4 gadgets per output)

for the DIY guys: Maplin had a simple 8 output thrubox:

I built this one and it works fine! The optocoupler circuit in this design has been wired correctly
To offer a low delay time - most circuits on the web miss the resistor on the base of the
optocoupler output darlington - this make the optocoupler quite slow.

Ciao
Peter

Ready made so I can fit all 14 of my rack units into Notator instead of connecting and disconnecting

Do you prefer a DIY solution or a ready made unit?

Yeah, a Thru Box is what I need.

What do you mean w/ "midi-breakout- box",- a Midi Thru Box, a Midi Routing Matrix or a more complex matrix which processes midi data (for live-usage) also ?



duh! isnt it obvious??? schrieb:

Hey guys, been awhile, found my Log3 awhile back. Now trying to figure out a good MIDI breakout box for a bunch of my synths (picked up quite a few new ones that I wanna rack up. Suggestions?

This group has been a big help.
