If you are using a Mac I would suggest buying 2x Emagic AMT8. These can be chained together for 16x16 I/O. They are pretty cheap second hand and will cost a lot less than a DIY solution.

You might get an 8x4 or 12x4 (with a bit of hacking) MIDI USB interface with up to 12 DIN outs on a 32-bit MIOS based platform running, when using IIC_MIDI modules, but it is true, 16x16 is currently not obtainable without serious hacking ;-).

But then, the inbuilt MIDI router of all modern 32-bit MIOS firmwares (SEQv4, MIDIO128, MBNG...) is really great, you can control it e.g. via a small SCS board without computer. And then, some operating systems will allow to attach multiple MIDIboxes to your USB ports (windows sometimes has problems with MIDI port enumeration, but I've got a MBNG, a SEQ and a custom project (MBLoopa) attached to a single Windows 10 machine and it works somehow). :-)

Many greets,
