Guest dugbert Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 i sure as hell am not going to pay $50 for one of these. anyone ever tried this? it seems really simple i wonder if i could pick female 5-pin pieces for the cables at a local electronic shop? i hope that sort of thing is fairly common. i don't know a lot about electronics, but i recall that in MIDI cables only 3 of the 5 pins are used. it seems like it would be really easy to just split the signal from one input to 4-5 outputs. i don't know what else i need to do. perhaps add a few more components keep the signal strong for each output let's hear some ideas Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/3554-building-a-midi-splitterthru-box/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be other possibilities. my purpose is to control 5 devices with my my computer (which has an midi IN/OUT interface) only 1 of the external devices has a midi THRU port, so I can't chain them all together, or controll them all at the same time with my computer unless I have this splitter box.
