OT: midi mergers

[james fowler <twostroke@gmail.com>]

situation: i have three controllers that could at any time be being used to manipulate four different machines and sometimes these machines are getting info from multiple sources concurrently.  for example: midi clock from vst host and cc from foot controller both feeding eventide.  without a proper merger the cc fucks with the clock info and temporal pandemonium ensues.  i've tried to envision all the permutations of this and have decided that i need a really flexible router/merger.  looks like motu's express xt and mtp are the only machines in current production that would do the job.  anybody care to disagree?

thanky.
