physical second MIDI in jack - doable with diode?

Hey guys,

sorry if this question was answered somewhere, or is simply too noobish!

I was wondering if I can connect two MIDI jacks to a Core's MIDI in, perhaps using diodes or so. The point is that I would like to connect two MIDI controllers at the same time without the need for two independent MIDI ports (e.g. with the IIC module)

I know about the MIDI merger, but that would mean a connection between two Cores, right?

AFAIK physically connecting two MIDI inputs is not a good thing - just think about what would happen if both controllers sent data at the same time.

That's the reason why there is the MIDI merger ;-) The MIDI merger (http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,11115.0.html) is a pretty small and simple board that gives you two physical inputs and merges them into one output, that you can connect to your core.
