Merging MRCC inputs
#1
If you patch two MIDI sources into MRCC input 1, one of them connected to the TRS jack and the other connected to the MIDI connector, what happens to the two streams of MIDI data? 

Are they merged, and then treated as a single source of MIDI data?

If the two sources of MIDI data have been sent on different MIDI channels, could the combined MIDI data stream be sent to a single MRCC MIDI out, and thence to two MIDI devices, and would this enable the separation of the two original MIDI data streams by selecting the appropriate MIDI channels on the receiving MIDI devices?

Or is this wishful thinking?

I've just run some tests and it seems that the data stream from the DIN socket is normalled via the TRS jacks.

So...if you first connect a MIDI source to the DIN input 1 socket, it works fine and MIDI data enters the MRCC.

As soon as you then plug a TRS jack into the TRS socket on input 1, the DIN MIDI data stream is disabled.

Correct. The TRS jacks are intended to be an either or situation, as the port numbering would suggest, Port 1 in has TRS A/B or DIN.

The DIN and TRS outputs can be used at the same time, however they will each be sending the same signal.
