Hello,
first of all thanks for finally building a midi merger, that is also compatible with linux. Even if only by not needing a PC at all. And, well, stick to class compliant usb.
This is more a general inquiry, more of a buying decision helper, as I do not have this device yet. But as they are supposed to be back in stock shortly, it is time to get serious. If this is the wrong subforum to ask this, lets call it pre sales inquiry, please feel free to move it around.
My proposed setup is rather simple:
I have all 5 DIN inputs connected, one USB host and one device on TRS-A. Makes up for 7 input devices, whereas 9 instruments are connected to DIN out 1-9.
As to be guessed from the topic, I would like to do channel based routing/merging. That is, everything, on any of the 7 inputs, that is being send in on midi channel 1, is being merged an send to DIN out 1, everything on any connected input on midi channel 2 is being merged and send out to DIN output 2, you get the idea, continue up to midi channel 8 to DIN out 8.
Finally, everything on any input on midi channels 10-12 is being routed to DIN out 9. Just 1:1 routing and merging, no channel rewrite needed.
I addition, midi clock is being received on the TRS input jack, and filtered on all other inputs, but only distributed to DIN out ports 1,3 and 5. So I would need filtering on the output ports as well.
Could that setup be accomplished with the MRCC? Not sure, wether there are enough layers for channel based routing, if possible at all? Maybe I just have not comprehended the videos well enough, in this case please bear with me.
I am not a native speaker, so if anything is unclear, please feel free to ask
Thanks
