Recommend a Midi Box Connector?

[_blacklight]

Help! I’m having issues getting my Octatrack & MD to speak to other equipment. (Excuse the drawing)

What I’m after:

Record from MIDI keyboard into Octatrack Sequencer
Play from Sequencer to different hardware & channels (in this case a Blofeld & Volca Bass)
Slave MD to Octatrack tempo (think I’ve cracked this but occasionally trigger the MD patterns/machines)
Be able to play Blofeld and/or Bass from midi keyboard

Can anyone recommend a midi in/out box?

I’ve tried Midi splitter cables but they don’t seem happy to take two sources? (Clash of commands?)

You just need a MIDI Thru box (one MIDI In port, at least two or three MIDI Thru ports) such as those discussed in the following topic:

MIDI Thru box

Does anyone have experience with the MIDI Solutions T8? It looks like one of the few MIDI thru boxes remaining in existence that has more than four ports. The only thing that worries me is that it is MIDI powered. I think this is really cool because in no way do I need more things to plug into outlets but I am just concerned for the stability of the power. I plan to go from OT out -> MD in, MD thru -> MIDI box, then out to the rest of my synths. Any idea if the Machinedrum can power this box…

Thanks for that. I’ll have a look into this.
