What is the best was to sum midi data to be able to use two of your kits on the same devices, same midi jack?

So, you have one MIDI output, and you want to control multiple MIDI decoders or MIDI retrofits with the single MIDI signal, correct?

Each of the MIDI decoder products have a MIDI Thru port--so you can chain several of them together by connecting the MIDI Thru from one device to the MIDI In on the next device in the chain. This is described in detail in the hardware user manual for the MSA & MD24 products.

The MIDI retrofit products do not have a built-in MIDI Thru port. So the best way to duplicate the MIDI signal is to build your own Thru circuit. Check out the new circuit in the library:

...that will allow you to control up to 5 MIDI devices with a single MIDI signal.

Hope this was helpful. Please let me know if I can provide more information.
