I have my synth midi cables running to a motu 128 8 way midi box and some others connected to a 2x2 and another connected to the port on an interface. Is there any way of avoiding the need for plugging and unplugging the whole time into the cirklon and then back into the interfaces for live and logic?

If I have instruments that I want to connect to both my computer and 
Cirklon, I connect them to my Akai ME80P MIDI patch bay and use that to 
direct the routing according to need. That way suits me best.

These days I have Cirklon and Logic running in sync and if I want to use 
any of my hardware synths in a Logic song, I just record them as an 
audio track. Sometimes I make Apple Loops out of my Cirklon patterns too.

I *think* one of the testers is using the USB connection to route MIDI 
into Cirklon then redirect it to connected MIDI instruments. I've been 
doing it the other way lately, connecting Cirklon's USB to my iPad then 
playing synths on the iPad via Cirklon's thru.

I see from my inbox I was going to formally test using Cirklon as a MIDI 
input to drive various soft/hard synths in Logic. I really must get more 
organised and do that, sorry! I'm sure it'll work as I did it months ago 
but I will pull my finger out this week, John, and report back now I've 
remembered.
