thanks a lot styrd_one. i see ... well, i've suspected thru is the way to go for unmerged ins. sorry for not being clear: what i meant is that i also want to clone merged out - parallel meaning connection to existing out. thanks for the schematic mike. it really helps; i'd probably be looking for something useful for some time. still have to get my thinking to midi ways ... all buffered - got it for now. cheers.

Hello everybody! this certainly is one of the best communities around. and midibox is just great stuff to deal with. yes, i've also caught a midibox bug ... well, i'm glad so, i'm getting into building a couple of things. SID being the first; still got some wiring left + pic burning... i will present it here as soon as it starts producing some sound. the other project is a midi merger. i've got the parts, box is on the way - everything clear & set; main motivation is to have a simple merging for the purpose of playing sempler (mostly live) from both the electronic pads, and a keyboard. still i think it could become even more handy (especially on stage, also for purposes of further routing) if it had both inputs available as thru's (unemreged, that is); my question is: what do i need to get this - would it be possible to simply hardwire an out from each in (after optocoupler), or do i need a thru module for each? another thing: would it make a problem if i duplicated out - hardwire another parallel port to existing out? thanks, and sorry if this is stupid to ask.
